NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

                    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.
