A bright morning and cloudy afternoon with very little breeze.
A quick pm 15 minute watch at Shelf Moor found several Skylarks moving over >NW with some settled in the fields. At least 6 Meadow Pipits were in the gorse bush field seeming to be fresh in.
A small flock of Canadas came over >SE possibly moving to a local roost and tonight hospital visiting at Bradford Royal Infirmary a Tawny Owl was calling in the grounds.
Will be popping out in the morning to get me a Wheatear !
