OOPS.. Must have gone a bit overboard with the rain dance last night with a day of strong W>6 and heavy rain although its what we need to get stuff moving. Places like the flood need water whereas reservoirs need less to expose some shoreline although its too late for that this spring time.
No chance of birding today as off to Leeds at dinner time and back at 1900hrs, a long day and nightmare drive. No problem going but coming home was a different story somehow ending up in the centre of Leeds outside the town hall lions. Anyway, one down and only another 33 to go which isnt too bad when you think poor Tracy has to go to Leeds every day to work.
Just a dummy run today to get things in place as well as scans etc and the radiation kicks off tomorrow.
