As the norm, thick fog early doors at Fly Flatts but soon cleared to dense patches spread around the area giving me decent visibility over the water and even some breaks in the sky revealing bits of blue sky. A very light SE>1 at 6 degrees .
A very lively first half hour with Mipits, Goldfinch, Linnet and Wagtails coming through, low over the water below the cloud base all >S. Several Pied Wagtails stopped off briefly with one very smart looking White wagtail but immediately moved on again.
The shore and verges were alive with Mipits and Goldfinch, several ground hopping through whilst 4 Wrens were in the compound.
Just a few LBBs on the far north shore in the mist but scoping these produced a single Snipe and one Teal on the mud just behind the gulls. Nothing on the water other than Canada geese until 3 Mallard and a drake Tufted duck dropped in.
A wet morning forecast for tomorrow with a moderate NNE wind and visibility poor, meaning fog of course. Possibly 3 dry days over the weekend and the wind moving away from the east.
