At last a day without fog replaced with a moderate SW>5 and some rain.
Woodpigeons were on the move this morning with around 100 >S seen on the way to work but this move died out around 0815 hrs. Probably the big push will have been missed during the period of fog.
Other than that a few Fieldfare headed >W and unusual to see 4 Blackbirds together >S over the garage.
A full team of local lads out today combing the area, the highlight being Wigeon at Leeshaw and Leeming, JL.
Hopefully the promised south westerlies will bring us a few sea birds and wildfowl inland this weekend.
Have a good one.
