0700hrs-0830hrs,
Wind: NW10-15mph
Movement: South unless stated otherwise.
Still very quiet with little moving...
Meadow Pipit:28,
Pied Wagtail: 4 (2N),
Starling: 1NW,
Woodpigeon: 2,
Chaffinch: 2,
Greenfinch: 1,
Sparrowhawk:1 (probably local),
Kestrel: 1 (probably local),
Carrion Crow: 4,
Goldfinch: 2,
LBBG: 25,
BHG: 13,
Goose Species: 4 NW (too far away over North Blackburn to identify),
Linnet:3,
Lapwing: 12 on Cribden Flats (probably now local having reached their Winter destination),
Siskin (audible only),
Goosander:1,
and the possible stars of the day remain unidentified - 3 party, they where similar in size to BHG but very greyish (darkish and dirty throughout - reminded me of the colouring similar to Fulmar, but far slimmer than Fulmer, could they possibly have been Black Tern?) in appearance, on the route East to West...
