Totally dead at Swales and along the top at Ringby Lane this morning. Nothing moving at all and nothing on the top except a few corvids, 13 Starlings and 6 Stock Doves.
Better news from AC - with c60 Waxwings still in the area at Lane Head, Brighouse this morning.
Masses of Black-headed and and Common Gulls (600+) at Ringstone late afternoon in the wake of the 'muck spreader'. There could well be something in among the gulls but it's probably a scope job.
I guess the farmer is getting the tractor on the land with the firmness of the frost in it but if the weather turns wet then maybe he won't continue ! Still, it's always worth checking those fields !

A real shame there, on Swalesmoor on such a beautiful day, Dave.
It's a rare day when you don't come up with something special!!
John.
Cheers John. Good on the top but below in the valleys there was the pollution with extensive blue/grey haze. I couldn't believe how many smoking fires there were around the town and hillsides - and at a distance, the moorland burning going on in the High Peak - it's dreadful !
Cracking male Widgeon and plenty Snipe at Ringstone this morning..
