New month, same weather, FlyFlatts.

 

                                    Gulls moving through



Another dismal morning with early fog clearing to mist and low cloud with drizzle throughout on a moderate N>5 at 9 degrees.
    Managed to keep visibility across the water and over the west ridge with the fog lying to the east of me but a low cloud base and scud clouds moving through.
    Gulls were the feature of the morning with LBB, Common and Black Headed coming through low over the water >NE. Common gulls not being a regular sighting at this site.
    A  vain attempt at vis mig just produced a few Mipits and Woodpigs moving,
 along with Alba wags and Reed Bunting as well as a single Buzzard looking like a mover rather than a resident. 
   A small group of Stonechat still present as well as Mipits but very little else.
Looking part cloud and dry tomorrow so far on a moderate north easterly.
