A wind torn day with a strong wind alternating between S and W >6 with heavy a.m. showers, some torrential brightening up pm.
Nice to see gulls in the skies again with several LBBs moving around in the wind in various directions although the bulk of the movement appeared to be west.
Swifts were active early a,m, with a feeding party of 9 over >SE in front of the rain clouds.
Will be interesting to see if these winds have moved anything around for us.
