Dense fog on the tops this morning with Ogden misty with heavy drizzle throughout, on a light W>2 at a muggy 6 degrees.
Very hard work this morning with the snow either deep and sloppy, or washed off, exposing the ice below. Only a short walk and check the water and feeders as too difficult for the dogs to manage plus a lot of salt about so had to give their paws a good wash when I got home as its very toxic to dogs.
No sign of the Goldeneye and Tufteds this morning, though scanning the water was difficult in the mist and drizzle, plus the higher temperature was constantly steaming up the bins.
A good count of gulls on the water but far out in the centre with several Herring and LBBs among the small gulls. Usual species on the feeders but no sign of Nuthatch for the second day running. Kingfisher, Dipper and Grey Wagtail down in the sluice gate.
A single Cormorant flew low over the water but continued>N whilst 2 Canada geese headed high and >E.
More fog for morning on a light westerly at 8 degrees with a brighter afternoon.
