Caldene Fields Watchpoint Low Moor Bradford

 

11th Of November 07  07.00 – 9.00am

Weather:  A dry mild morning with 20% high thin cloud to the S/E increasing to 60% around 08.00 with thick dark cloud coming in from the north.  Excellent visibility beyond 3 miles.  A F1 N/W wind with gust to F2/3.  Temp 8c

 

Comments: A typical  November watch with only 'late stragglers' in low numbers moving through.  Lapwing were moving which is normal here in November, but a movement of LLB Gull moving S/W was of interest.
