A strange day with the Solstice sunrise and red skies short lived to give way to wind and rain that got up from nowhere and by lunch time I was dog walking in a W>5 and horizontal drizzle.
Mid afternoon it changed just as quickly leaving a dry and pleasant afternoon and evening.
Slowly from now the daylight starts to lengthen making us look forward to evening birding again.
A check on the Raggalds Flood midday in a howling rain storm produced just 4 Common gulls and 8 Black Headeds with no sign of the Pit Lane Lapwing flock.
