A 2nd weekend check of Oxenhope

A new comer from yesterday, Oystercatcher

Less LBBs than yesterday

This was a real dark LBB, Intermedius.

Oxenhope p.m. visit. B.O.G.members only.

A 2nd weekend check of Oxenhope found little change from yesterday although an Oystercatcher had dropped in overnight and there was a lower count in gull numbers.
A strong WNW>6 was blowing at Windy Corner but once again the hot clear blue skies kept any movement at bay.
