If you,re going to get a total fogged off washout on a Sunday morning you might as well have it on Jan 1st and get it over with.
This morning was a shocker with fog on the tops and torrential rain elsewhere with a strong W>5 blowing.
Fly Flatts was a no go so back to Ogden for a reet good soaking.
Nothing of interest to report other than a few small gulls and the common garden stuff so the new year morning list which usually starts with about 40 species has taken a battering and started off with about 12.
The weather looks to be brightening a bit now so I may get an hour late afternoon depending on what her indoors has planned in the meantime.
