Clear as far as Wainstalls this morning and then ran into dense fog up on the tops.
Fly Flatts was unworkable with very limited visibility only being able to see 30 yds out onto the water and no sky vision. The sun tried to break through but failed with dead calm wind conditions that did,nt help in a temperature of 13 degrees.
A few Mipits in the bushes but otherwise not a bird sighted so just a one hour dog walk then, with no sign of improvement, it was up stumps and head for home where Queensbury had glorious sunshine.
Thank goodness August is over but a dread of what the fog is going to be like mid September and October, when fog is expected, if August is anything to go by.
Some shore showing now so if it remains reasonably dry I could get enough exposed to tempt down a wader or two plus September is the time to start watching for Pink Footed Geese heading east or west for the winter. My earliest skein sighted in September was the 14th.
A light easterly and rain forecast for tomorrow so I,m not getting excited about the morning with more fog expected.
