A bright and breezy morning at Leeshaw with early dark clouds, as the overnight rain moved away, leaving some blue sky and sunshine on a moderate and cold W>5 gusting 6 at 6 degrees.
A very lively morning as usual at this site though nothing out of the ordinary. Around 40 Herring, 15 LBB but only 2 Black Headed and 2 Common, these 2 species now noticeable by their absence.
Wader wise, 3 Redshank, 6 Curlew, 21 Oystercatchers and the usual Lapwings but nothing on the water other than a good count of Greylag and Canada as well as a few Mallard. Only small passerines were a few Meadow Pipit.
First Swallow today over Manchester, S.J.
A cloudy cold day for tomorrow with a moderate WSW, increasing by late morning, with a drop in temperature, starting off at 4 degrees.
