- Just over one hour this morning vis migging at the top of Blind Lane, Queensbury was reasonably quiet due to the bright clear skies. Most of the birds were coming down the air valley >S and >SW with a couple of species >W.
- A good morning for Buzzards with 4 in the air together but very distant spread over Thornton, Clayton, Baildon and Bradford, all being local birds. Several Swallows moving but no Swift for the last few days now.
- Hopefully I get my wheels back tomorrow p.m. so should be back in action Wednesday to see what September brings to Fly Flatts.
- MC has found a muck heap near to where he lives and has reported 21 Yellow Wagtails there in the last couple of days.
