Leeshaw 0800 - 1015 hrs. Light E>3 ,early drizzle but keeping below the fog line.
As always Leeshaw was a hive of activity with plenty to watch throughout though nothing special and very little on the water. Surprisingly no hirundines through but the cold and damp was,nt very inviting for them.
A female Merlin screamed through filling the sky with Lapwing, Snipe, Oystercatcher and Redshank.
