Back to winter

With a cold day of icy winds from the north and several hail and snow showers here,s a reminder of the spring like day on Sunday with wall to wall sunshine and calm waters.

           Same calm waters at Mixenden

  Not snow in the background, just a few Whoopers that called in.

Once again the cold North wind and snow showers has put a halt on spring migration with only one or two Wheatear reports and already the last week of March.
A check around the hotspots at dinner time yet again failed to produce.
Raggalds Flood is now dried up with just 1pr Lapwing present whilst Roper Lane and Old Guy Road only managed a scattering of Skylarks and Meadow Pipits.
Tracy has been keeping an eye on Shelf Moor trailer park field but only come up with Meadow Pipits so far.
