Not a great deal in the skies due to the hot blue stuff but several LBBs kept moving throughout the day all >W. Hard to tell now if the BHgs and Commons are movers or resident birds moving around the fields.
On the way back from Morrisons this evening about 100 small gulls were in the field above the old Brewery near the Raggalds.
There was an obvious fall of dispersing Willow Warblers overnight with 4 in the garage car park in cotoneasters and 1 in a bush in the coop car park. This evening at least 2 were in bushes at Illingworth Morrisons.
An e mail from Peter Turner tonight saying the Little Owl is still showing well near the Lion Gates.
