Keeping below the fog, Leeshaw Reservoir.

 

                            Distant Kingfisher down by the deck

                                Autumnal looking scene, Leeshaw
                                Fog up on the moor.
                                Misty reservoir

                            Site first for me, Little Grebe.


Another horror morning with dense fog on the tops so over to Leeshaw which was just below the cloud base but dark and misty on a NE>2 at 5 degrees and light drizzle throughout. Certainly not a photographic morning.
        A lively watch, despite the weather with around 150 Black Headed gulls, all checked for Meds, with just 8 LBBs and 2 Herring gull, both 1CY, along with about 30 Commons.
        The water held the usual Canadas and Greylags as well as 7 Mallard and a site first for me with a Little Grebe working the edges in the reed corner. A single Lapwing was on the far shore.
       A Kingfisher was way down in the beck area along with a Grey Wagtail but no Dipper today.
   A depressing looking forecast for the foreseeable future with several days of fog and rain. Queensbury has,nt seen daylight for days.
