At last a clear but damp morning very slow to come light.
Had to wait at Lower Laithe for some light to appear before I could check the water.
First light and very dull at Leeshaw when 9 Whoopers came over very high and direct West to East.
Several Cormorants were moving, some calling in at Leeshaw.
Leeming res was the only one with shoreline but nothing special there.
