Very wet and windy morning at Leeshaw reservoir with some breaks of sun but otherwise full cloud and heavy showers on a moderate SW>5 gusting 6 at 5 degrees.
No continuation of yesterdays move with just 6 Swallows, 3 LBB and 4 Herring gull all >W whilst otherwise more or less the same species present as yesterday with the addition of 2 Grey Wagtails and a small flock of Goldfinch.
The majority of Oystercatchers have now dispersed with just around 8 remaining from the March count of 32 whilst 3 Redshank were busy feeding in the fields along with the Curlews and Lapwings.
Nothing on the water other than geese and Mallards.
A saving grace on the way home with 22 Herring gulls and 17 Curlew in a field off Long Causeway opposite TMR reservoir. A careful scan through for Black Tailed Godwit, as there are plenty around at present, but not to be. A flock of around 50 Fieldfare were heading >E over the Dog and Gun at Oxenhope.
Showing a day of cloudy sunshine and dry for tomorrow on a light SW turning S then SE kicking off at 3 degrees.
