A quiet Leeshaw reservoir.

 

                                        2 of 3 Oystercatchers

                                    Few LBBs present

                                        Curlew >W
                                    juv LBB
                                        LBB mobbing Heron
                                      House Martin having a go at the Herons head.
                                        LBB


A much cooler morning at 14 degrees with a brisk W>3 and 80% cloud, good visibility.
   Although conditions were good, birding was'nt, with a very quiet morning.
  Very little of interest throughout with a few LBBs over west, plus a couple on the shore, along with about a dozen Black Headed. A single Raven went over >W as well as a Curlew, and another Curlew was in the goose field.
    Plenty Lapwings in the muck spread field as well as 3 Oystercatchers whilst several Sand and House Martins were present as well as Swallows.
     If anything is going to happen it had better happen quick, another month and we'll be watching for Pink Footed geese and Redwings.
Weather looking good for morning with full cloud on a light sou'westerly.
