Black clouds approach over the sacrifice stones
Soil Hill from the watch point
Raggalds flood, 1 Redshank still present.
Oxenhope watchpoint 1500- 1630 hrs. cool SW>4 sunny intervals and light showers, rain by 1600hrs.
With the good SW>4 and rain predicted I thought it could be ideal for passing Terns so off to Oxenhope for another sky watching session.
Sightings were much the same as yesterday but BHG gulls were coming through in greater numbers than yesterdays LBBs. After touching down on the water briefly they were on their way again >NW.
Surprisingly a great lack of Wheatear with only one found.
