As expected dense fog to start the morning which partially cleared for short periods before rolling in again. This continued throughout the watch on a very warm but light E>3 bringing some drizzle.
Grounded p.m. waiting for the carpet fitters.
                                 Two drake Tufted duck were new in from yesterday mixed in with the Canadas and Barnacles whilst the Dunlin were not found but visibility was limited.
                                  A full day of rain on a NE >3 forecast for tomorrow if it happens, I,m still waiting for the thunderstorms to materialize for the last 2 days yet.
Good to bump into DJS this morning as I passed the Nolstar fields.
