At last we,re back with the familiar westerlies bringing with them drizzle and evening fog but a good thaw starting although the gritters are out in force tonight so they must be expecting a drop in temperature .
Three large flocks of LBBs came over the village from the Calder Valley early a.m. all in v formation and very high making me think they were Pinkies at the first sighting. The 3 groups contained 34, 46 and 23 birds and all headed off >NE. Probably a roost breaking up but an unusual sighting all the same.
Everything else was much of a muchness up here on the top of the hill today, hopefully the mild spell over the weekend will move something around.
