Shore Road, Carnforth, Lancs.
1200hrs-1400hrs
Wind: change over to Light/variable westerlies
Movement: South unless stated otherwise.
Very late in the morning, yet still Swallows going through in nice parties. Went quiet from 1400hrs. Nice to see changeover to light Westerlies and this took the Swallows South West (instead of the E or ENE we have been getting in the last couple of days)
Swallow: 731 (best parties: 77,55,36,35,28 etc) all SW.
House Martin: 12
Sand Martin: 1
Linnet: 3 singles SW plus 10 blogging party on marsh.
Meadow Pipit: 8 (2,1,1,1,1,1,1) all SW
Goldfinch: 9 (all NW)
Skylark: 2 SW
Cormorant: 3 2+1 local
Pied Wagtail: 5 (2W all others SW)

Perhaps no longer such a great sighting, but still a great sight!
