As expected this morning, dense fog until midday then clearing to full cloud on a light E>2 at 15 degrees.
With the dense fog this morning I never got past the starting gate but mid afternoon, with the shopping and chores done, I attempted to rescue the day with an afternoon visit to Fly Flatts.
Fly Flatts is always very quiet in the afternoon and today was no exception with nothing in the trees or bushes other than a few blogging Mipits along with a single Wheatear. The skies were empty even though the conditions looked ideal for a passing Osprey or Red Kite
A single diving duck, way out in the middle of the water, was a female Tufted but with an extensive area of white on the face giving me hopes of Scaup. Out with the scope to dash my hopes seeing it was Tufted which was later joined with a drake dropping in from the east.
More light easterlies in the morning probably meaning more fog.
