Another day of thick fog and heavy drizzle until mid afternoon when it eventually cleared leaving a grey but dry and clear evening still with a cold ENE >4 hence the old Yorkshire saying, " Ne,re cast a clout till May is out ".
A check of the flood found it still holding water but very little else with 3 Pied Wagtail all hovering above the grass and water catching flies whilst several Swallows were feeding by skimming the surface of the water.
At least 10 Swift went over >N and 8 rabbits were around the water.
A 15 minute watch on Roper Lane was interesting with several gulls moving >N through the Causeway Foot col comprising of mainly Black Headed with a smaller number of Lesser Black Backed.
The birds were mainly adults with just a couple of juvs.
Again plenty Swifts were heading >N , some very high.
Almost weekend and a new month so lets see what June turns up.
