Fog thicker than ever this morning and staying on the tops throughout the day.
Ogden was just below the cloud base but a very misty start which lifted slightly to the tree level. A light SE>2 at 8 degrees and light drizzle.
The only big gulls were 3 LBBs with around 150 small gulls but nothing special among them. The waterside trees on the west bank were quiet with around 12 Long Tailed Tits and 2 Siskin in the darkest part of the alders but otherwise down to the usual common woodland species.
I thought with the big move of Wigeon over the last few days there would be at least some on the water, but other than Mallards and 2 Canada geese, the water remained empty.
On the plus side, up to 20 Chaffinch are now using their favourite weeds on the banking so, as long as numbers keep on the increase, and the water level stays down, it could be a Brambling winter.
A slight change of wind direction in the morning to WSW so a small chance of better visibility though its still giving mist until first light. After tomorrow its back to the SE with a promise of fog Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Plot Neet tonight and as Dave Barker always said whilst we were doing vis mig, " What happens to Redwings flying over on Plot Neet."
BS.
