An early morning check of Old Guy Rd found it quiet on the cricket pitch and low cloud above so no sky movement visible.
Later at work a few Mipits and Swallows headed >S but only low numbers.
A quieter day today after yesterdays excitement of Vals White Stork but an interesting text from Bradshaw John from up in the dales where Pink Footed Geese were going over the Grassington area.
HC texted me from Oxenhope where he had Fieldfare over his house>NW and NK reported 7 House Martin and c 40 Mipits at Queensbury south. Nigel also found Old Guy Rd quiet later in the day.
