A terrible day with heavy showers continuos throughout the day improving this evening with a slightly red sky which hopefully means a better morning tomorrow ?
Around 40 Common gulls were on the park football pitches this morning with a few Swallows and Mipits moving over >S and >SW but this soon fizzled out when the rains came.
A small flock of 15 Lapwings were in the hawthorn field at Shelf Moor this evening and a Green Woodpecker flew over the Lion gates towards the golf course.
