Leeshaw Reservoir


            LBB gulls moving through >W into the weather


                            Greylags don,t mind the rain.

With fog over the tops and heavy rain I headed for Leeshaw which was below the cloud base and a drier start though by 0845 hrs the wind was increasing and it soon started siling down. By 0915 hrs the mist rolled in so it was up sticks and an early finish.
                                                               Plenty activity, even in the conditions but nothing other than the local species, the best of the bunch being 3 Teal which dropped in but under the near bank and out of sight.  Several Oystercatchers and Redshanks present but no small waders of any description.
                                                                  Both Lapwing and Curlew are sitting eggs in the fields whilst a single Snipe was up drumming.
Near gale force winds forecast for this afternoon which will shift the fog and hopefully move some of the rain clouds over. Its a westerly so may drop me something in to Fly Flatts.
