1500-1700hrs, sunny with cold E>4.
Back Lane plantation watching....... nothing
Giants Tooth raptor watching.........nothing
Hoped for Crossbills at Back Lane but apart from a few Chaffinch the area was birdless.
Conditions seemed good for raptor movement at the giants tooth with hopes of an Osprey or too but empty skies. At the time I was watching an Osprey headed >N over Hebden Bridge over the ridge from me. Thanks for the grapevine message Dave, that really made me feel better !!
Down at the reservoir things were no better with silent woods and near empty water, the day only being saved with a pair of Goldeneye and 1 Heron.
No Warblers showing today, possibly due to the cold easterly.
Tomorrows target birds, Osprey, Wheatear, Stonechat . Sand Martin and Swallow, or am I April fooling myself.
