A murky morning at Leeshaw with thick fog on the tops leaving it slightly misty at Leeshaw but visibility do-able. A very light E>2 with full cloud at 6 degrees and light showers.
I thought there may be a slim chance of yesterdays Bar Tailed Godwit being held down with overnight fog but no sign of it this morning, which was a shame as conditions for photos was much better with very little heat distortion.
The Cuckoo was still present across the far side of the water, but as yesterday, went quiet after 0830 hrs. A less lively morning with just 10 Herring and 4 LBB gulls through >W whilst a move of Blackbirds was apparent with 8 ground hopping through >E as well as several Swallows.
No new waders yet with just 4 Redshank and 6 Oystercatchers and still awaiting the first Common Sandpiper at this site.
A report to me this morning from YW of a Merlin taking out a Jay at Castle Carr on Friday.
Otherwise, the usual species along with 2 Grey and 2 Pied Wagtail.
A brighter morning tomorrow with chance of light rain showers at 6 degrees with the wind in variable directions S,SE and SW. Visibility said to be good.
