Overnight snow left a covering on the tops but very little evidence at Leeshaw with a moderate W>5 at 4 degrees feeling bitterly cold despite some sunshine.
A very active morning with the west wind bringing some Herrings and LBBs through>W but very few adults now but nothing else on the move.
Three new visitors this morning were a single Red Legged Partridge, a Raven and a Pink Footed goose in with the Canadas. Oystercatchers were in good numbers as well as Redshank and a Moorhen was a species seldom seen at this site.
Fly Flatts was very windy but bright and good visibility but very little of notable value.
Just 2 Ringed Plovers today which had moved over to the east bank away from the usual weekend disturbances up there plus a few Lapwing around the boatyard , as well as the nesting birds on Fill Belly Flat. Just a single 1w Herring gull over >N.
Gale force winds from the SW tomorrow and heavy rain forecast which could be interesting. Don.t forget your clocks forward tonight.
