No time for birding this p.m. as involved putting a fence up at daughters house at Shelf Moor which happened to be in torrential rain most of the time.
A quick look around the Lion Gates on the way home produced a single wheatear, several Mipits and Linnets and a few Swallows motoring through >S but no sign of the Lapwing flock.
Oh well, another week to wait now when hopefully we,ll get a better weekend than this.
