Out and About

I wasn't able to get out for a walk this morning, which was a real shame, as the weather really closed in by lunchtime, with heavy rain and gusts up 43 mph.

I was out in the car for a shopping trip to Weymouth in the afternoon, and the only highlights were dozens of small waders and around 20 Great Black-backed Gulls on the sandflats at Ferrybridge.

Hopefully better weather tomorrow.

On this day

2017:- 1 Red-breasted Flycatcher along Broadcroft Quarry Lane
