Sunshine, Showers and Swifts
Keelham farm shop this evening
A day of sunshine and showers , the heaviest being early evening, then clearing to leave bright blue skies.
In amongst the showers Swifts were motoring through with c 40 during a 20 minute dog walk all N> along with a few Swallows and 6 House Martin.
At midday in the park a few young Starlings were out on the grass feeding whilst several adult birds were feeding and carrying food away.
No sign of smoke today over Cold Edge so hopefully the fire was sorted by the fire crews helped by overnight rain.
