A real horror of a day up here in the highlands of Queensbury with visibility down to 20 yds after an early morning start of heavy rain.
In a bid to drop below the cloud base and check for Whoopers being brought down in the murk I headed for Ogden which on arrival, and a quick walk down to the promenade, was obviously a no go with the fog just as thick and nil visibility out onto the water so rather than waste any more time there I quickly moved on to Mixenden.
Conditions here were very near as bad with visibility about one quarter of the width of the reservoir and no overhead visibility at all.
A walk along the west bank checking the shoreline disturbed the Moorhen which swam out into the fog whilst 2 Mallard were on the mud where the streams join the reservoir and that was it, a major fog off. Hopefully the promised winter weather will return at the weekend and put an end to the fog.
