Heysham Obs
After a very wet morning in a lightish easterly, from 1315hrs it was flat calm, high cloud and no sign of any incoming rain. Put a mist net up for about an hour as there were quite a few warblers around. The eye must have been very slow moving as we didn't get the westerly hooley on the south flank until about 1700hrs. Bizarre!
