A bright sunny morning which was short lived with fog patches piling through on a light SE>4.
Luckily I was able to keep visibility to the S and SW with the N and NE blanked off until it finally cleared. Starlings were powering through in squadrons up to 40 all >NW along with several Fieldfare in the same direction.
Pink Footed geese were still moving with the first skein nearly missed in the clouds, the second skein passed well to the south of me whilst the third skein was out beyond the western ridge just managing a poor image to get a count on.
The bird of the morning was a single Dunlin >E high up and moving fast in the murky sky.
Much quieter in the afternoon with still some Starling moving and gulls building up on the North shore.
