Leeshaw Reservoir

                                         Still Curlews around
                                              Far banking,  400mm 7d




                                                Far banking 1200mm , Canon bridge

A blustery bright morning at Leeshaw with near gale force W>7 easing slightly and blue skies with some cloud, white horses on the water.
Very quiet on the water other than small gulls and Mallards and again no sign of any goose flocks in the surrounding fields.
Two Cormorant were present and surprisingly 2 Curlews were moving around from the fields to the shoreline.
Checked the Golden Plover field but nothing as yet.
Raggalds Flood held 15 BH gulls and 6 Common whilst around 60 small gulls were on the football pitches nearby.
