A day of fog, doom and gloom up here on the tops today with a very light breeze SE>2 turning E>3
and even when the fog lifted slightly it still remained very dark and grey.
Fly Flatts was well and truly blanked out in the fog so a visit to east of the Nab at Leeshaw reservoir where even there things were very quiet with dark limited visibility and the water just below the cloud base.
Tons of shoreline which held 6 Cormorant and a single distant Dunlin which soon moved to the western end of the reservoir out of sight.
Around 200 gulls were present in a freshly manured field and around the reservoir but all Black Headed apart from 1 Common gull with no big gulls present.
A few Mallard on the water as well as 2 Canadas plus 1 Heron and 5 Pied Wagtails and that was it. One of those days when you,re not sorry when times up. Hopefully the dreaded fog will have gone by tomorrow and I can get back to the uplands.
Looking at this mornings paper the traffic police must have been watching my blog and latched on to the idea of a Big Bertha lens, theirs is called The Long Ranger, which attaches to a speed camera making it possible for them to take photos and videos of cars approaching over half a mile away with a picture clear enough to see if a mobile is being used or a vehicle driven badly. A good idea as long as they dont knock it over like I have twice!
