I set off for Leeshaw early morn after word from BV that the road is now open but as I drove over Mountain in the clear it looked like the fog was lying in the bottoms and the wind turbines were showing so a quick divert to Fly Flatts.
On arrival the fog was rolling up out of the valley and within 5 minutes it was dense fog with 30 yds visibility. A very light SE>1 at 3 degrees made it pleasant walking the west bank in the hopes of finding something grounded with the fog frustratingly looking as if it was clearing only to get another thick bank of fog arrive.
A text from MP at Thornton reporting Pinks over his area but nothing heard over Fly with just the usual 3 Mipits, a few Grouse, 2 Stonechat and a male Blackbird plus a noisy Raven heard in the clag.
Not the best start to December but early days yet although another cap full of fog forecast for tomorrow.
