Curlews going West... next stop Ribble?... (c) 2010

WF3, 16degC, 65km, 2/8, QNH 1012 falling

1805 - 2040hr

A mainly cloudy morning but during the pm broken cloud becoming scattered and then few by early evening. Pressure falling all day. Masses of gulls on the deck and movement still happening but despite the big numbers of gulls absolutely nothing else of significance. Again very few mipits going west and no Wheatears at all. Four Curlews left the in-bye and went high west.... next stop Ribble??
