Dodge the Fog. Leeshaw.

 

                                    Single Pink Footed Goose.
                                    1 of 2 Cormorant
                                Showing white courtship patch.

                                Several Swallows through >NW
                                Very few Black Headed gulls in the area.

                                        Lapwing displaying

                                    Herring gull



As promised this morning, dense fog on the tops and hanging around until mid afternoon.
    Leeshaw was clear with good visibility on a light W>2 at 5 degrees with constant rain throughout.
      Nothing out of the ordinary but enough to keep the interest going throughout the watch with a good variety of species. Swallows were bombing through, low over the water and >W along with a low count of Herring and LBB gulls and a surprise to get 4 Black Headed gull over, which are very scarce at the moment.
     A single Pink Footed goose was in with the Canada and Greylag looking like it will probable over-summer here. Waders comprised of  Common Sandpiper, Redshank, Oystercatcher, Curlew and Lapwing whilst 2 Heron and Cormorant were on the banking.
   Grey and Pied Wagtail were present along with a few Goldfinch and a Kestrel.
Looking dry tomorrow with a cool N>3 with the morning visibility given as medium to good, though Fly Flatts has its own weather system up there.
