Queensbury, fog stopped play.
Black Dyke Mills chimney looming through the fog
Frozen berries in Foxhill
The scene at midday
A real miserable day with a clear start then fog closing in, at first low lying with blue skies above, then total fog for the rest of the day. Temperatures around - 3 degrees with the temp in the garage never going above 1 degree.
The only bird life seen was the resident House Sparrows, Starlings and small gulls squabbling for food.
About 4 Pied Wagtails were on the rooftop of Morrisons at Illingworth in the dark this evening so there may be a roost building up nearby.
