A misty start to the morning, once again thanks to the east wind, with a moderate E>4 bringing mist and drizzle with a low cloud base at 11 degrees. By 0915 hrs it was thick fog and game over! The east wind is a birders dream on the east coast but a nightmare for inland birding.
The only action this morning was getting the sheep back in the field and clearing half a cwt of goose poo from the jetty, other than that it was mega quiet with just 2 Willow Warblers, a single Wheatear and 3 Meadow Pipits.
A little bit of below the cloud sky movement with Swallows and LBB gulls but by 0915 hrs it was up stumps and away in thick fog.
Luckily the wind turns tonight leaving a strong Sour'wester in the morning which should clear any remains of fog.
Present
Usual geese and Mallard.
