Sunshine on Emley Moor
Gulls have quietened off slightly
A right mixed bag of weather today with morning thunderstorms and torrential rain followed by a day of sunshine and heavy showers although temperatures were up.
Quiet on the gull scene today with only 2 Commons in the park and very few fly overs, these all being small gulls. Shelf Moor pond held 2 Moorhen and 6 Canada Geese with a pair of Mallard in the ajoining field but the Lapwing flock was nowhere to be found. A customer today reported c200 Lapwing over the golf course this a.m. but this number is probably exagerated somewhat?
The Hawthorn field at Shelf Moor held 16 Woodpigeons and 5 Stock Doves.
Sounds like we.re in for a breezy ,showery weekend which could cut down vis mig movement but, ever the optimist, could blow something good our way, watch this space!
