A calmer day with a slight westerly >3 with drizzle showers p.m.
Limited time today but as I passed through Shelf Moor late afternoon the pond held 9 Canadas, 3 of which flew >SE at last light. 6 Golden Plover were very mobile in the nearby fields but the Lapwing flock seems to have broken up. Two Mistle Thrush were in the hawthorn field and a Jay flew in the direction of the golf course.
BS.
