Grounded this morning, not by the weather but by the gasman, waiting for a boiler /fire annual service.
Not bad conditions early morn as I walked over Foxhill with light drizzle on a light W>3 at 6 degrees but by early afternoon the weather had deteriorated to heavy drizzle and a moderate W>5 with very dark clouds.
Foxhill park held 23 Common gull and 8 Black Headed along with 2 Pied Wagtails and the daily 100 plus Jackdaws overhead >SW on their way from the Hewenden roost.
Otherwise it was a check on the east coast RNLI cameras with Oystercatchers, Turnstone and Cormorant at Whitby and over 100 Oystercatchers plus Turnstones and Dunlins at Redcar, below the Esplanade.
No lifeboat launches today but tomorrow could be another story with severe westerly gales forecast for the morning.
