Another gloomy wet and windy morning at Fly Flatts with better visibility other than a low cloud base.
A moderate W>5 increasing 6 was blowing bringing white horses across the water, which is nearly up to the overflow, with drizzle and rain showers at 5 degrees.
A raptor morning with 2 Kestrel, 2 Buzzard, a Peregrine and an unexpected visit from a Red Kite which was low over the east ridge but dive bombed by 2 Crows before I could get the camera on it, sending it to the east side of the ridge and out of sight. It never re appeared so must have gone low east through the wind farm towards Ogden.
No geese today with just 8 Herring gull >NW along with 2 Fieldfare and a single Meadow Pipit>W whilst 3 Canadas were on the water.
Just 2 Stonechat in the compound today along with 4 Wrens.
The bright sunny forecast on a low westerly for tomorrow has now been updated for rain and light wind from several directions including east which smells like fog to me.
