Back to a fog-less but bird-less Fly Flatts.

 

                                    Early sunrise, Queensbury

                                    Early morn, Fly Flatts.

Bright and clear at Fly Flatts with 80% cloud and odd sun patches on a cool NW3 at 6 degrees.
   After waiting 10 days for the fog to clear to get back to Fly Flatts the morning was a real disappointment with a total absence of bird life.
    A skein of 72 Pink Footed geese headed >SE but well to the south of me and only just in scope range.
After that it went rapidly downhill with 5 LBB gulls >NE, and a few Starlings >NW whilst 1 single Pied Wagtail and 2 Meadow Pipits were present. 
   This site has only produced about 5 specials since the end of August so time to put this site on hold for a while.
    Cloudy for morning on a slightly stronger WNW at 4 degrees so hopefully no fog with the drop in temperature.
