Swales Moor

Late morning produced a good number of birds - all of them part of a cold weather movement.
With thanks to Andy for the info on a good Herring Gull movement over Northowram earlier on I thought there might be a good chance of catching some up Swales. Nothing doing until 11.30 when the sun came out and big gulls coming from the west started to thermal high before two groups of around 20 each drifted NE. Another group of around 40 did the same thing but headed off towards Soil Hill (NNW). Mostly Herring Gulls with just a few Gt B Backs.
Also 3 groups of Lapwing (40, 10, 8) and one group of 10 Golden Plover > NE
1 Meadow Pipit >W
Nothing on the top other than 50+ Carrion Crows
