A terrible day with blustery SW>5 veering W>6 and heavy showers throughout the day.
Shelf Moor at last light held 2 Greylags and a Canada by the pond and around 200 Fieldfare moving around from field to field favouring the area opposite the gorse field. This was probably a pre roost flock possibly heading for the trees around the golf course.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
