A misty Oxenhope

Gulls piling over the valve tower
A wintery track

Oxenhope late p.m. visit. Low cloud and drizzle, SSE >5. Visibility just to far bank.

Poor conditions and once again confined to the hide to get out of the damp and biting wind.
The gull roost was back after nothing showed last weekend with gulls piling in from 1445hrs and still coming in smaller numbers as I left at 1630 hrs whilst DCB and CK stayed on till the end. Goldeneye were present and a small Goosander roost although this could have built up at last light. A covey of 38 Grey Partridge were on the road to the site on my way in.
