After yesterdays spring like birding day, today was just the opposite on the tops with dense fog and heavy drizzle throughout the day, certainly not a worthwhile day to attempt birding. A shopping trip to the lowlands found it clearer but still very wet and miserable so it was a day of shopping and out in the workshop.
Just to brighten the evening up a bit I,ve put together a variety of small passerines ,soon to be seen in the near future. The majority of these birds have passed through Fly Flatts at one time or another.
