Always best to park in a sheltered spot at Fly Flatts.
Another one bites the dust.
A very dark cloudy morning at Fly Flatts on a moderate SSW>4 inc S>6 bringing 'white horses' across the water and whistling through the boat masts. Slightly milder at 6 degrees but keeping full cloud cover other than a bright strip of sky well to the south. Light frizzle throughout.
The morning kicked off with 2 Grey Partridges near the compound which was unusual for up there as mostly I only get Red Legged. The usual 3 Mipits were still present as well as 2 Stonechat whilst 18 Mallard were on the water.
A Skylark was briefly on the seed,which may over-winter here with 2 Mistle Thrush near the feeding area before heading off over the moor.
No shore now with water up to the overflow but none needed now until the end of February.
Very little in the air today with just 1 Raven, 2 Kestrel, 6 Redwing >W and a few BH gulls.
Looking like a ton of fog for next week with a full week of very calm winds and turning east from Tuesday.
