The were some dramatic skies around Billinge Hill this morning, and lots of heavy rain in the air, though I seemed to avoid it, and the Beacon itself was largely in sunshine. There were more Meadow Pipits around today, though it's difficult to say if they were the result of local movements or genuine migrants.
Thanks for the memories Colin, When I was a kid I use to walk with my parents to Billinge lump as we use to call it, and at the right time of year pick blackberries. Also down the road heading for Red barn, there use to be a wooden hut called Shirly Brow cafe, I always had beans on toast.
