Brilliant weather this morning with full sun and a heavy ground frost at 3 degrees on a light SE>2 and excellent visibility.
A good move of Woodpigeons >S from first light over Queensbury but dried up by 0800 hrs. Very little else skyward but a Whooper Swan movement to the south of me over the Manchester area reported by SJ.
A single Cormorant headed high and >NW whilst I picked up DJSs skein of Pinks but far to the south heading away from me westward over Stoodley Pike. One of the largest skeins this autumn with a count through the scope, and a record shot, of 134.
A few gulls on the water with 6 LBBs, 4 Black Headed and 2 Herring whilst the usual Stonechats and Reed Buntings were present.
Back to the cloud and heavy rain tomorrow. !!!
