Dark skies before the thunderstorm
Thick fog midday
A bright sunny evening
A real mish mash of weather today with a heavy downpour and thunder, thick fog over lunchtime and a warm sunny evening.
A few LBB gulls were moving over >SE during the rain shower and several Swifts were feeding early evening when the sun was up getting the flies moving.
Better get watching the scrapes on Soil Hill now as word was put out today of Green Sandpipers coming through, ( Calderbirds grapevine ) and with July nearly upon us waders will be ready to move and hopefully stop off at our area.
Its also time to double check those gulls as July is a good month for Yellow Legged Herring gull.
