Another foggy morning with the wind still from the east with an E>3 at 15 degrees.
Fortunately the fog was moving through in patches alternating to one minute clear and the next minute foggy. By late afternoon the dreaded sun was out in full force with the heat turned up to 20 degrees putting everything into sleepy mode for the second afternoon running.
East winds are set to continue till the back end of the week with showers which could once again mean fog.
Golden Plover were the birds of the day with at least 6 in the top sheep field along with Lapwings, Curlews and a mass of Starlings.
The water and shore was crawling with Canadas and big gulls all lazing in the afternoon heat with around 300 ad Canadas and several goslings along with around 80 big gulls, these being 75% LBBs.
