An icy foggy start to Boxing day with dense fog on the tops later dropping in patches into the valleys with a freezing cold W>5 and hazy sunshine.
A treacherous drive to Oxenhope with icy roads and thick fog but clear on arrival making a pleasant but cold session.
Sounds of spring filled the air with 2 , possibly 3 Curlew flying around and calling briefly landing on the shoreline and in the fields.
Up to 200 Woodpigeons came over >S and several Herring and LBB gulls headed >NW.
The water was quiet apart from the usual small gulls and Mallards, and strangely geese are non existant.
