Oxenhope... another low! 07-07-2010

WSW F5 moderating F3, 18degC, 65km, 8/8, QNH 1014 troughing then rising.
1830-2030hr

A mainly overcast day with rain initially turning into drizzle on the hills and then a thunderstorm between 1730 - 1800hr. Whilst dry another evening of little in the sky and nothing of major difference. A Peregrine southwest being the first sign of movement up here was interesting but wader wise only a single Curlew west. Just a few Swifts flew into the wind. More BH Gulls than of late. Sixty Lapwings were on the in-bye.

Moving birds:
BH Gull 105
LBB Gull 141
Peregrine 1
Curlew 1

herring types 1

Other:
Curlew 26
