As expected the fog won again this morning blanking out the watchpoints. A short ease in the fog provided birds moving low at Ogden mainly Thrushes out of the plantation and off SE. The first Fieldfares of the season left the trees near the Giants tooth and headed >SE along with the Redwings. Chaffinch were moving but in low numbers until the fog closed in again causing shutdown.
