Fly Flatts 07-09-2008
1800 - 1900hrs
Arrived just as a huge downpower began to abate. Very evil looking black clouds took up an almost stationary position over Calderdale - Hebden Bridge and Todmorden would have had a real soaking. Clear out to the three peaks which were in sunshine. Dead calm at Fly Flatts - res was like a mill pond - the silence was deafening !
VIS MIG
Good movement of mipits :-
189 with largest single group being 54 birds. Bulk were moving East with odd one`s North - seemingly influenced by the rather strange weather conditions.
Also 8 Swallows very high East.
OTHER
Kestrel - 1
Red Grouse - 2
Carrion Crow - 5
