Not bird wise but the last of Lyndas 6 week run of radiation at Leeds. A slow process now recovering from the horrific side effects but at least its a big step forward.
A check of Raggalds Flood for Yellow Wag at 0630hrs proved wasted with the fog so thick I could,nt see across the field. Otherwise the rest of the day was spoken for with Leeds and work so very little to report.
LBB gulls were flowing steady over the village midday all >NW and Swallows were showing in good numbers but no House Martins as yet.
Almost May now so more or less everything that,s coming back should be back so all we have to do is find them. Last years Raggalds Flood Yellow Wagtail arrived on the 17th of May so hopefully we,ll be getting one dropping in anytime.
