A calm dull day with plenty on the move.
A call from Tracy midday reported 30 Waxwings in a garden near Kershaws garden centre but when I went down hoping for pics late p.m. they were gone.
Tracy also got 100 Pink Footed geese over which were also reported over EGP and Mount Tabor, Calderbirds, and several skeins flew over Manchester,DJS.

Back at the trailer park 54 Lapwings were present but no Snipe to be found. I could see a few Meadow Pipits around the walls but got a suprise when the Lapwings were flushed by a Carrion Crow and a group of 34 Mipits came up out of the field and away >NW.
Gulls were moving well with 7 Herring >W, 16 LBB >NW and 48 Black Headed also >NW whilst Commons were moving >E to roost during the hour I was there.
On Green Lane the Little Owl was on a distant wall whilst noisy Jackdaws moved in to roost.
Another try for Fly Flatts in the morning weather permitting, should have some Mipits up there and Curlew shortly.
BS.
