This Tea Time (c) 2007

Wilsden 17-08-2007

1600 - 1700hr Norr Hill

1850 - 2000hr obs from home

 

W F3 / 2, 60km, 4/8 to 7/8 in evening, fresh, Dry.

 

Both watches disappointing after yesterday with only two Swallows > W and just House Martins feeding on the updraughts over Norr Hill. The evening watch from home was poor with only a few Starlings, no Woodpigeons, no Swifts and a few finch sp. Gulls were about the same. Mipits however were stronger with 21 > W in small groups spread over the last half of the watch.
