Weather:  A damp morning with fine drizzle and a F1 E/N/E wind. 100% heavy low cloud with visibility down to1 mile.  Temp 8c

 

Comments: A very poor morning hampered by bad viewing conditions. Although given there was slight easterly wind few calls were heard and very few birds seen.  5 alba wagtails moving N/E was unusual for this site.

    Hi Darrell
    Yes I see no reason why vis should not use your area. If the M62 uses this pass over the Pennines then some birds must also! You need a watch point with an elevated overview so you can get a good all round appreciation as to what is using the sky, both low and high. I will watch your web with interest as well as look on the map.
    Dave.
