Sunday Oct 30th 2011
Another Fly Flatts abandonment due once again to dense fog and heavy drizzle.
Back down at Ogden the mist cleared by 0800hrs leaving a bright , calm autumnal morning until 0935 when another front started closing in bringing cloud and drizzle.
Skies were quiet apart from a few Woodpigeons probably marking the near end of vis mig for another year though Cormorants were on the move with 3, 2 and another 2 then joined by the Ogden bird all heading >E.
The edges of the wood were busy with a growing number of Goldcrests and Treecreepers showing well.
Several Tit flocks were apparent along with Chaffinchs and Dunnocks. Two Redpoll were a nice treat and 4 Crossbills flew over calling heading towards the giants tooth.

Lets hope there's an increase in Crossbill numbers.

I was waiting for the mega at fly this morning! Should have had a lay in this morning Bri! Good do with the Cormorants.
Couldnt believe another Sunday morning of fog up there, Ive had 1 Sunday at Fly Flatts over the vis mig season, oh well, theres always next year.
