Here endeth March. Leeshaw reservoir

 

                                 Single Pink Footed Goose still present


                                Part of the 28 Oystercatchers




                            Distant pr Goosander
                                Blach Headed and Common
                                    1 cy Herring



As my prediction yesterday, the fog was dense on the tops this morning with Leeshaw just squatting below the cloud base leaving the area misty but workable with full cloud on an E>2 at 4 degrees.
       Nothing exotic to finish off, what has been a very disappointing month, marred by the weather, high water and lack of birds in general.
    A single Pink Footed Goose is still in with the Greylags whilst 28 Oystercatcher are showing no signs of pairing up as yet. Plenty Lapwings and Curlews along with at least 4 Redshank. 
   Gulls are now noticeable by their absence with just 2 Black Headed, 8 Common, 9 LBB and 4 Herring, mostly sticking to the water along with a pair of Goosander well across in the NW corner.
    A promise of rain tomorrow morning on a light >NE fog provider.
