Once again a very foggy start at Fly Flatts which cleared to mist by 0845 hrs with occasional banks rolling across the water like smoke. Low cloud and drizzle throughout on a SW>3 at 11 degrees.
Even though the weather was much the same as yesterday the birding was much quieter with no passerines skulking in the 2 trees or bushes. A bit of movement was apparent though poor visibility restricted and serious watching so much of the time was spent checking around the shoreline and
'bush bashing', not literally.
A Jay, high and >E, was interesting for this early in the season whilst a flock of Lapwing headed >SW. No continuation of yesterdays gull move with just 2 Herring over.
A 10 minute watch from Withins Head, just in case the unlikely event of the Marsh Harrier had hung around, only produced a few Mipits and Linnets.
