                                            Still 3 Oystercatcher

A pleasant enough morning at Leeshaw  with full dark cloud and drizzle showers on a light SW>3 at 10 degrees. Dense fog on the tops, early morn.
       Very much the same as yesterday with the addition of 4 female Goosander on the water and 5 Curlew heading >SW with one dropping into the field briefly.
     Still alive with passerines around the banking hedges with 4 Willow Warbler, several Reed Bunting, Linnets, Goldfinches and Meadow Pipits, whilst a good move of gulls was underway with a continuous flow of LBBs and Black Headed all >W throughout the watch but very few dropping down. Just the one Herring gull over but a few in distant fields.
     Same sort of weather for tomorrow but a slightly stronger westerly which could swing around to the north.
