A disappointing morning with any vis mig blanked out with the thick fog and horizontal drizzle throughout the watch. A brisk WNW>4 was driving the drizzle over the moor but failing to move the fog although a call from DCB reported that the worth valley and Keighley were in the sun but this failed to reach our areas.
Several Meadow Pipits were grounded around the reservoir waiting to move and the only other bird seen was a female Merlin which skimmed the heather then dropped down into a reed bed on the moor not to be relocated.
Around 100 Linnets, mainly juvs, were along the Fly Flatts road feeding on wild flowers in the fields and saving me from coming back with an empty camera and you nothing to look at.
