True to form with the forecast of wet, windy and poor visibility the overnight fog cleared as I arrived leaving misty but dry conditions on a SE>3 at 11 degrees. By 0915 hrs the fog started drifting in along with heavy rain,
Luckily I managed a walk half way on the west bank and was able to scope the shoreline before the weather closed in.
The first signs of vis mig this morning with Mipits and and Reed Buntings heading >S along with a few Swallow whilst a good number of Mipits were blogging along the shore and in the fields.
Just 7 LBB and 4 Black Headed gulls on the north shore with nothing on the water. Otherwise, just a single Kestrel, 2 Wheatear and a Grey Wagtail along with 2 Red Grouse, the latter being a rarity at Fly Flatts now whereas it was over-run with them a few years back.
Cloud and showers for morning on a light SW at 11 degrees. Chance of thunderstorms after midday.
