A perfect morning at Fly Flatts with good visibility on a light SE>2 with full cloud cover but light grey sky ideal for seeing the birds in. The ponds were frozen again with a temp of 3 degrees.
Woodpigs were over in good numbers until 0845 when they dried up whilst Fieldfare headed >NW but these were possibly post roost birds.
A very distant skein of Pinks headed west way beyond the western ridge whilst a second skein, after a shout from HC that they were over Soil Hill then Ogden, passed to the south of me heard only up in the clag.
By late afternoon the fog was back so another visit to Leeshaw in decent conditions though rather quiet other than the usual sp.
