A day of sunshine and torrential showers with a bit of thunder and lightening thrown in.
1700hrs -
Shibden Top/ Green Lane had a good number of Swifts moving over >W , probably a feeding party working around the showers. Otherwise quiet apart from the usual Linnets and Corvids.
1800hrs-
Arrived at Ogden the same time as the torrential rain but managed 30 minutes looking between showers.
The weather didnt really matter as it was gulls I was looking for hoping for an early Yellow Legged Herring gull but not to be. LBB numbers are rising with 15 present tonight, 3 on the water and the rest soaring high above before drifting off >S.
The water was otherwise void of birds apart from the now resident Canadas and a low count of Mallard whilst a single Heron stalked the west bank.
