A cloudy but calmer day up here in the gods with a slight rise in temperature which seemed to get things moving a bit.
A steady flow of LBB and Common gulls was apparent most of the day all heading >NE from first light this morning and continuing till mid afternoon.
A winter / summer mix at lunch time over Foxhill park with 2 Waxwings in moving mode high and fast heading direct >N along with several Swallows in the same direction. Not often you get Swallows and Waxwings in the same sky space.
Otherwise nothing else of note but keep scanning those skies, we must be due for Osprey over the area anytime now.
