Oxenhope... curlews on the way! 16-06-2010

E F2/3, 20degC, 65km, 2/8, QNH 1028 falling.
1845 - 2145hr

Another big influx of lessers this evening and the first moderate move of Curlews west with parties 3+2+5+8+3 going straight through high with all parties calling evocatively.... as they do.... in total difference to the breeding birds still present here. Lapwings had built to 63 whilst Redshank had fallen back to three. A single BH Gull went W with the lessers.

Moving birds:
LBB Gull 186
Curlew 21
BHGull 1

Other:
Lapwing 67
Redshank 3
Curlew 10
Cuckoo calling
