A pleasing morning at Leeshaw with grey skies and a slight W>3 increasing mid morning with some sun.
Vis mig was quiet with Swallows and Meadow Pipits moving through but in small numbers whilst 4 Pinkies came over high >N ,seen shortly after an alert call from DCB/HC warning me that they were on their way past Oxenhope. Thanks for the call Dave.
7 Teal were nice on the shoreline along with Lapwings whilst 5 Cormorant dropped in.
A bike event was a bit of a distraction when hundreds of bikes came past taking nearly 30 minutes to clear with the 3 dogs barking at every one.
