No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

The Arctic Watch point Fly Flatts.a.m.

                                   Down near the feeding station
            Several Greylags moving >SE
                                 This one dropped onto the water briefly


                An icy, foggy track

                                                  The team.

0830 hrs at Fly Flatts with once again no access down the track with snow and solid ice top to bottom making it very dicey to walk down, especially with 3 dogs pulling you. The west bank was easier with very little ice all the way along to the NW corner where I thought I,d at least have a Snow Bunting for my efforts. A SW>4 was blowing and a low cloud base which developed into thick fog by the time I,d got halfway back along the banking.
                                                         Greylag geese were the birds of the morning with 3 noisy skeins heading >SE but unseen in the mist although one bird dropped down briefly onto the water before moving off again. After that it was lights out with the fog very dense on the tops but ran out of it down at Wainstalls.
