A second day of dense fog up here in the gods so I took a gamble of Leeshaw being below the cloud base and lost. Oxenhope was clear but the slight rise to Leeshaw was enough to take me back up into the clouds with slight visibility to the nearby fields but the water was completely blanked out.
Several Canada and Greylags were in the usual field along with Lapwings and Curlew but after that everything was blanked out apart from 2 Grey Wagtails by the stream.
A poor forecast for the week but I can handle the rain, its the fog that stops the job.
