As usual, a bright blue sky Monday with a strong W>5 easing then picking up after dark to W>6 gusting 7 with some heavy snow showers.
LBB gulls were on the move >N heading up the Aire valley most of the morning whilst 4 Skylarks came over the garage mid morning >NW.
No lunch time today with errands to run so it was sandwiches on the hoof but did manage to drive past Raggalds Flood where 9 Lapwing and 6 Common gulls were by the small amount of water.
Around 60 small gulls were on the Raggalds football pitch.
