A cold dull day with full cloud cover but remaining dry despite black clouds.

Very little movement other than a few Meadow Pipits over >NW early this morning and 16 Woodpigeons >N.
A near miss with the Whooper Swans this a.m. reported over Southowram( see Calderbirds), unfortunately these birds were heading >N so will have passed to the west of the village.
Shelf Moor tonight held 4 Canada Geese, 2 Mallard and a single Moorhen on the pond and after a sudden stop in the car and grabbing of the camera the suspected Whooper Swan in the field turned out to be a large piece of white plastic blowing on a barbed wire fence.
Hopefully tomorrow will produce me Wheatear and LRP but who knows ?
Note to DJS, got the Trill out in the garden today so say goodbye to your Tree Sparrow, it,ll be heading for Queensbury now!
