Leeshaw Reservoir

                    Kestrel getting mobbed with Hirundines



                   Large Lapwing flock

                                    Canadas heading high and >E
                                       Juv Curlew

A rainy, misty Leeshaw this morning with little excitement but enough to keep the interest going.
A single juv Curlew was still present and a juv GBB gull in a distant field with LBBs was unusual.
NP/ DPs Whinchat was still around with 3 Wheatear but well out of camera range in the conditions.
The whole area was alive with Swallows and House Martins.
