After clear starry skies last night I put on my blog that I thought we were turning a corner at last away from the fog. Little did I know that around the corner was another capful of fog with no visibility this morning then clearing with heavy rain p.m. but the fog remaining at Fly Flatts throughout the day.
This morning was just a dog walk at Ogden with the fog so dense you could hardly see the water from the promenade.
Late afternoon was clearer but very wet with Leeshaw being in the clear but very dark with drizzle then rain.
A much quieter afternoon with just 2 Mallard on the water as well as the usual small gulls with 2 Herring gulls over >SW. A check of the conduits found 3 Reed Bunting, 2 Wrens and surprisingly a flock of 12 Meadow Pipits which seemed settled and will probably over winter at this site. Otherwise it was down to the usual geese, winter thrushes and Lapwing flock with no sighting of the Kingfisher today.
I,ll certainly be glad to see the back of November this year which is always a poor month but this November has got to be a record breaker for fog and rain.
