A dull ,grey day with slight drizzle and an odd fine snow flurry or two with a cool NE>3-4.
Another Buzzard past Queensbury at lunchtime seen from Foxhill park but this was very distant and very high over Baildon heading >N up the Worth valley. A continuation from yesterdays raptor movement.
A flock of 38 Redwings came over in migration mode >N whilst I was still up the park and 2 more smaller groups were seen in the afternoon over work heading in the same direction.
With these sightings and yesterdays Oxenhope Curlews things look to be moving early.
Amazing Curlew photos on DCBs vis mig blog from yesterday, well worth a viewing.
