A foggy wet start to the day improving slightly to drizzle and a few dry spells p.m.
A check on Raggalds flood at dinner time was put off due to pockets of fog around over the mountain so a quick Dailies dash had to suffice.
A few LBB gulls were heading >N up the Aire valley along with 1 very high Heron >NW but otherwise the skies were quiet.
Down in the station Fieldfares and Redwings were on the Hawthorns but very distant views with no time to scale down there and back. Blackbirds were also plentiful though the bushes are nearly stripped of berries now.
Getting regular reports of Woodcock in the station near the tunnel to Holmfield entrance.
