A good evening with calm conditions and clear blue skies, unfortunately no time for birding.
Spent 2 hour on the garage roof at work this afternoon doing some repairs, camera in pocket ready for an Osprey gliding over but the skies were suprisingly quiet with very little movement other than a few Swallows >S and several small gulls in various directions.
Shelf Moor tonight had several Swallows over >S and Linnets grouping on the wires which coincides with NKs report of big numbers of Linnet on Soil Hill, see Queensburybirder for full report..
A bad forecast for the weekend with plenty showers and wind increasing to severe gale by late Sunday, mind you, severe gale is only a stiff breeze on Queensburys Beaufort scale.
