Bank of cloud heading my way
Same bank heading over Bradford
Clear skies following on.
An attrocious day with near gale force W>6 gusting 7 bringing heavy squally rain showers with some sunny periods.
The midday Dailies watch was spoilt when a heavy rain cloud arrived at nearly the same time as me although it was interesting to watch it quickly move past and down the valley across Bradford followed by clear blue skies .
A single Curlew was the highlight moving very high and direct >NW but other than that all was quiet.
My theory is that if I get 15mins once or twice a week skywatching at lunchtime from the top of the Dailies Im sure to get rewarded with something over the spring migration period. An Osprey would do nicely but Im not a fussy sort so anything decent will do.
Ive already had a Buzzard so thats gee,d me up a bit. One must live in hopes must,nt one!
