With road closures at Mixenden I had to take a detour to Fly Flatts where it was misty and fog banks over the moor with a low cloud base and a mix of rain and drizzle throughout at 11 degrees.
Small passerines kept me entertained this morning, after checking around the banking for waders, with a good overnight fall into the single compound tree.
The birds were very hard to pin down, and even harder to get any photos, with them skulking around in the thick leaves and vegetation keeping out of the rain but briefly showing when catching flies.
Linnets and Swallows moving through below the cloud base whilst several Meadow Pipits were ground-hopping through.
Gulls are starting to appear on the Balkram Edge football field but only Black Headed and one Common so far.
