Denholme Clough 29-09-2007

An overcast morning with a slight northerly wind. The cloud was low enough that the Oxenhope watchpoint usually visible was shrouded in mist. Vertically I could only see a few 100 feet but horizontally I could see all my usual horizons except the pennines to the west.

A quiet morning with virtually empty skies. Everytime I scanned around I couldn't see anything moving. All these birds were picked up on call and were overhead.
