Warm and cloudy, slight drizzle early pm. Thunder around 2000hrs over Queensbury.
A quick visit to Shelf Moor this evening produced 5 Canada geese at the pond along with 1 Moorhen.
7 LBB gulls went over >W and several Swallows were feeding over the fields, the rain seems to have livened the insects up a bit.
Two Swifts drifted over >NE and a Curlew was in the Hawthorn field which is a strange sighting.
Heavy rain given over the weekend so lets hope its all after dark.
