A bright clear start to the morning at Fly Flatts at 0800 hrs after an icy drive up there.
Thick fog was hanging down in the valleys but Fly Flatts was above the cloud line with light full cloud cover on a light SE>3 at a cool 1 degree. By 0915 hrs the expected fog started to arrive with full blank out by 0930 hrs.
Despite the good clear conditions for the first hour the area was near bird less, compared to yesterdays busy morning, with just 1 Kestrel, 1 Wren and 3 Stonechat throughout. The early skies looked good for a continuation of yesterdays Pinkies movement but the geese obviously thought different.
Hopefully tomorrows forecast north wind will keep the fog at bay and bring the birds back.
