Swales Moor

An hour up there late afternoon was probably a bit too late in the day but with clear skies interspersed with hail showers there was always a chance of some geese-  but not today !
12 Linnets on the top was a nice surprise though they were flighty but I did try to check to see if any Twite were with them but drew a blank on that score.
2 Skylark
2 Meadow Pipits
8 Stock Doves
3 Herring Gulls >NW
3 L B B Gulls loafing about with Common Gulls and scores of corvids on the top

Hats off to you for braving it Dave, I drew a blank yesterday and today at soil hill devoid of birds, seen one Goldcrest at 6 o'clock p.m. at bottom of Taylor lane caught it in the headlights believe it or not, it was on the wall and flew into the ivy on the house across the road ,didn't think they'd be out in the dark.
