Fly Flatts 0700-0830hrs Snow, cold SW>4 Dense fog.
Stuck it out here for just over an hour hoping the fog would clear but got thicker if anything.
Deadly quiet with not even a Curlew call so moved on to Leeshaw which was bright and alive with birds.
Displaying Lapwings and Curlew were everywhere calling loudly along with geese and Oystercatchers.
A ploughed field held Fieldfare, Mistle Thrush Skylark and Meadow Pipit.
