and head
As expected this morning with temperatures up to 11 deg at 0800 hrs down came the fog with a bank of low cloud right across the high ground which put Fly Flatts out of the running.
On then to Oxenhope with a quick check of Lower Laithe where there was 1 pr Goosander and several small gulls.
No Goldies back at Upper Marsh as yet so on to Leeshaw.
Leeshaw was just below the cloud base but very dark and damp so the camera had to take a back seat after a few shots resulting in blurred images.
The area was lively but only with the usual species and very quiet on the water.
4 Cormorants were present, one of which was already showing breeding plumage with white spot and head markings.
