Water was well down at the Raggalds Flood this lunch time showing that the farmer had done a thorough drainage job last autumn.
1m and 3 f Wheatears were present along with 15 Carrion Crows and several Swallow feeding off the water. Some were perched on the barbed wire fences.
A dog walk down Harp Lane this evening produced Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Robin, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Swallow, as well as several Swifts heading >N up the Aire Valley.
Crippling clear views across the valley in the clear blue skies, just one advantage of living on the top of the hill.
On a clear evening with no coastal mist the Humber Bridge can be seen clearly from Foxhill as well as York Minster, Malham Cove and the North Yorkshire white horse.
