Bright and sunny as I left the village this morning until I ran into a large bank of fog at Fly Flatts with visibility over the water below the low cloud base. Light drizzle on a SW>3 at 5 degrees. Clear but cloudy by 0915 hrs.
What was probably the same male Common Scoter was still on the water working the same area at the north end, diving constantly, well out of range in the conditions even at 672mm. A group of 12 Mallard were on the water as well as 14 Canadas.
A flock of 48 Fieldfare headed >SW over the moor as the sky cleared with another 50+ in the Nolstar fields. Just 4 Meadow Pipits and 2 Reed Bunting in the migrant bushes whilst 10 Herring gull headed >NE over the Nab.
