Leeshaw:
A short outing at Oxenhope this aft - thoroughly wet throughout.
No Gulls on my arrival but c15 Lesser Black-backed Gulls came and went.
1 Black Headed Gull - miles off on the NW shore.
2 Oystercatcher and Lapwing were making some noise.
Greylag Geese with large Goslings.
A short wet stroll revealed a drumming Snipe - heard first then seen weaving high overhead.
Difficult to get a photo of it - but a great sight nonetheless.
Fly Flatts:
I went home along the Fly Flatts road.
There is a great improvement to this road with new thick tarmac along the Oxenhope end and in pretty good nick elsewhere.
I stopped temporarily to look at Fly Flatts reservoir.
But the distance and the heavy rain put paid to any meaningful photos with my tackle.
Still I took a few poor ones!
Lots of Large Gulls on the NE shore was about all I can say.
Black dot appeared when I cropped this.
Presumably a Swallow
Snipe fast, high overhead, drumming.
