Fogged off at Fly Flatts


                                            Plenty Swallow movement
                                  Fog heading my way
                                 Blank out.  Twite in the fog

Fly Flatts  0715-1000hrs  Rain , Drizzle then fog. SW>3 .Real Sunday morning stuff.
A disappointing morning vis mig wise with heavy rain to start with followed by 30mins clear with drizzle during which time there was some decent movement but this was short lived as the drizzle increased followed by a second band of rain with dense fog to conclude, smashing!
Other than the poor weather a satisfying morning birdwise ,to get a list as this morning and only 10 mins from home ca,nt be bad.

Thanks for skype call from DCB warning me of an approaching band of rain that had just passed over Manchester heading my way. Still got wet through but at least I was expecting to.
Typically now as Im typing this the sky is blue and the sun is shining, Bah.
