A quick trip around the locals this evening was disappointing with nothing of interest to report even though the skies were cloudy but a strengthening wind W>5 turning SW>5-6.
Raggalds flood held 2 Pied Wagtails, 3 BHGs and several Jackdaws.
Tracys Wheatear field held 4 Meadow Pipits, about 80 Starling and 2 white doves.
Corporal Hill, Green Lane had the usual pre roost Jackdaws, several BH gulls in the fields and about 50 blogging Swallows along with 2 House Martins.
Hopefully things will improve over the weekend and if not theres always the decorating to fall back on.
BS.
