With the pre Easter car repair rush on very little time for sky watching but managed a 15 minute Dailies Dash at lunch time.
A steady flow of Meadow Pipits and Alba Wagtails was on the go all > N up the Aire valley keeping very high and direct.
3 Herons went over in the same direction also very high whilst LBBs and a few Herring gulls headed >NW.
Hopefully this northerly air flow stuck over us will change by the weekend allowing migration to kick off from the south.
HC had a wander around whilst his car was in the garage and came back with reports of Green Woodpecker and plenty Bullfinch from the Station Rd area.
