Another late finish at Shelf moor, what a lovely night for painting emulsion.
Unfortunately, for me anyway, the dreaded heatwave predicted by birder Angela has arrived with 30 deg in the garage today so not a pleasing day to work.
Outside was hotter still with wall to wall blue skies and sunshine which is definitely not birder friendly although it should give us some more shoreline.
A few Common gulls came over Shelf tonight whilst a drive round Green Lane found hay making going on with the fresh mown fields full of corvids and a few Black Headed gulls.
No sign of the Little Owls round there now that their favourite area has a house built on it.
