Heavy rain from early morning continuous throughout the day getting even heavier by late afternoon when the wind picked up to a near gale force WSW>6 gusting 7.
I think we can forget any chances of shoreline now for the foreseeable future with the amout of rain down in the last two days, the moorland birds will be getting a real beating in these conditions.
With the hope of a slight break in the cloud early evening I drove around 3 Little Owl sites but the rain continued to pound down leaving me with nothing to report. Surely this can,t go on over the weekend?
BS.
