Buzzards and Swallows

Some photos from Sunday early morning

       Looking north from Fly Flatts over the Keighley valley
                                         Mist spread right across the low lying areas
   

                                         Like looking onto a Loch

                                        Not water but mist.


A great movement morning today with my phone red hot with reports of moving Buzzards, Swallows and Wheatear.
11 Buzzards were reported to me , 4 from the Wibsey area of Bradford heading >N up the Aire Valley, 6 from Northowram >N and >NW, AC and one from NE Bradford, JL.
A Swallow and a Wheatear were seen at Fly Flatts,HC , another Swallow over Windybank, Queensbury, JL and a single Swallow speeding over Foxhill park >N by myself this evening at 1930 hrs.
The skies were good for raptor movement throughout the day but Buzzard sightings ceased by midday.
A check of Shelf Moor this lunch time failed to produce, this is the first year I,ve had Swallow before Wheatear.
