A bright sunny morning at Leeshaw with clear blue sky and sunshine on a cold NE>4 at 3 degrees clouding over by 0945 hrs.
Very quiet to start with until gulls started pouring in from all directions amounting to around 200 small gulls on the water along with 15 Herring and 2 LBBs. This kept me busy the rest of the watch with scoping through them but unbelievably not a Med, Yellow Legged or Caspian among them.
Other than the gulls on the water, two distant fields held around 100 small gulls in each as well as the Dog and Gun field holding around 50 small gulls, so quite a gully morning which was fortunate because otherwise there was only a few Greylag and Mallard on the water along with Starlings and a Kestrel in the air.
On the way home around 30 Fieldfare were in a field along Long Causeway and in the afternoon 6 Siskin were in an Alder tree in Sainsburys car park, Halifax.
Cloudy but dry for tomorrow on a cold north easterly at 3 degrees.
