The heatwave goes on. Fly Flatts, p.m.

                                            Meadow Pipit
                                      Redshank, Nolstar fields
                                                                Mipit
                                       Male Reed Bunting
 Canada with 4 young. One that escaped the egg smashers.

1500 hrs and still the nasty hot stuff lingering although the wind had changed around to SW >3.
                                                                 The water was full of geese with a count of 124 Canadas plus 4 young ones along with 10 Greylag but no sign of the Pink Footed from this morning.
Unfortunately the Greylag with 7 goslings is now down to 6 probably after this mornings gull invasion. 
              Far too hot to walk the banking so set my stall up in the shade of the car and settled for a bit of scanning which just produced Snipe, Reed Buntings, Common Sands, etc with no continuation of the gull movement.
                               Lynda wanted Brighouse this afternoon which was 29 deg, lovely.! After a shopping spree she said lets have a walk by the canal at EGP which was a cross between Blackpool promenade on a wakes weekend and the M62 with a constant flow of nuggets on bikes, two of which I threatened to put in the canal as done by Gordon Denison many years ago when Elland was in its hay day.
HC and myself were once down there on a Sunday morning birding spree countless years ago when David Dimbleby turned up on a barge stopping at a lock and having a word with us.
