Not the best of mornings, Fly Flatts.

 Thick fog and heavy drizzle cleared by 0745 hrs to leave full cloud but a low cloud base covering the turbine tops. A light WSW>3 at 9 degrees.
       After a good watch yesterday morning, this morning was just the opposite with the water failing to drop at all and most of the waders gone. Just 4 Common Sandpiper and 1 juv left with no sign of the Ringed Plovers for 2 days now and the Redshanks moved on leaving 2 pair of Curlew and about 6 Lapwing.
      Plenty Swifts overhead again and the Raven family of 5 were over the moor whilst a single Golden Plover flew >W and that was it, other than the usual species, so by 0915 hrs it was up stumps with boredom setting in. 
     On the way back I walked down the top half of Slaughter Gap which was bird-less.
Not looking good on the weather front for morning with full sun, a light SW and 18 degrees by 0800 hrs, not the sort of weather that I'd order.
