the camera
One thing thats the same in the new year is the weather.
Off at 0730 hrs to Lower Laithe, Leeshaw and Leeming in strong SW>5, heavy drizzle and low cloud. Dark till almost 0830 hrs.
All 3 just had usual sp so headed for Fly Flatts to call at Mixy on the way home for the GND.
Driving on the top road in thick fog a Red Grouse was walking by the road and as it flew a small bird flashing white flew further on the road.
First instincts were, that can,t be a Wheatear, until I got my sensible head on and got a Snow Bunting.
It was very flighty moving along the roadside and flicking onto the moor still in dense fog but managed to re locate it 3 times and get some poor but record shots.
The bird was still present when I left and the fog seemed to be clearing.
The Mixy GND was still present at 1000 hrs but took some finding in the choppy water.
