Swallows on the move

Very few LBBs this morning

The result of a dog on the shoreline

A comfy position for this Common gull

Down the valley towards Mixenden

0730-1000hrs
Fly Flatts once again had to be aborted due to thick fog , rain and drizzle.
Ogden was better weather wise though quiet with only 4 LBBs amongst the gulls and little else about.
A walk up towards Withens Gap found Swallows piling over >S with odd House Martins mixed in but no sign of Swift.

78 Common gull

Beware of black duck on Ogden which was on its own in the middle and nearly had me going for the phone!
