After heavy rain this morning the day developed into blue skies and sunshine with a bright clear moon which will be a full bombers moon on Friday.
After the rain, late morning, plenty Swallows appeared with some movers but most birds blogging in the sunshine and taking the chance to feed.
Twelve Linnets came over the park at midday all >W and obviously moving along with 3 Pied Wagtail in the same direction.
Well done to DJS for predicting a Skua as HC gone an Arctic from the Oxenhope watchpoint.
