Vis Mig Morn, Leeshaw

                                           An active shoreline

                                      Plenty birds but no waders

                                          Could,nt resist this one.
                                                       Big Bill
                                Distant Mistle Thrushes

With Fly Flatts in dense fog it was on to Leeshaw with rolling fog on the hill tops and hazy sunshine below.
At last a taste of vis mig with skies alive until around 0915hrs when things quietened apart from Mipits still moving.
Thrushes were the birds of the morning with several Mistle , Song and Redwings but new in and very fidgety , others were moving over.
