the SW shoreline which means a longer walk.
Thinking of checking Soil Hill late afternoon but with waders and Terns on the move I thought I,d better stick to reservoir watch so off to Oxenhope for a return visit.
Not as many gulls present with several already moved off to roost but waders were livelier with some new in as well as a Gt Crested Grebe on the water which was,nt present yesterday.
Swallows and Swifts were piling through taking advantage of the midges about in calm conditions although by the time I was leaving the wind had increased to N>3.
Good to bump into Mark Dovestone and his boys up there and catch up on old times from the last 10 or more years since we last met.
