With Fly Flatts in dense fog it was on to Leeshaw with rolling fog on the hill tops and hazy sunshine below.
At last a taste of vis mig with skies alive until around 0915hrs when things quietened apart from Mipits still moving.
Thrushes were the birds of the morning with several Mistle , Song and Redwings but new in and very fidgety , others were moving over.
