Same weather as yesterday, and the last few weeks, with fog on the top and Leeshaw dark and drizzly on a SW>4 at 6 degrees with heavy rain by 0930 hrs.
A rare visit from a Barn owl this morning quartering the far banking then out onto the moor. It had me going to start with as it was flying with 4 Black Headed gulls and stood out as a clean bright bird which had me thinking Iceland gull until I got the bins on it. This is only about the third sighting I,ve had at this site although the local farmer has reported one on a couple of occasions last year.
Otherwise it was just down to gulls with a good count of 53 Herring, around 100 Black Headed and just 6 Lesser Black Backed with nothing unusual among them today.
A light westerly tomorrow with a few showers so I may even get to Fly Flatts before the spring, but thats all fog dependent.
