                                    Cormorants on the move




                                    Wigeon with Teal
                                            Wigeon, distant shore



                                    Teal
                                    Wigeon
                                    Gulls on the NW shore.

Heavy drizzle early doors at Leeshaw reservoir but soon clearing to leave clear blue skies and sunshine on a blustery WNW>5 gusting near gale 7 at a cool 8 degrees.
    Wildfowl on the move at last with 10 Teal over on the far shore as well as a single Wigeon and 12 Mallard whilst the distant NW shore held around 100 LBB, 200 Black Headed, 12 Common and 6 Herring gull but still expectantly awaiting Med and Great Black Backed gull.
    Two groups of Cormorants were interesting heading >W, with a total of 15, but continued on at height over the water. Otherwise, a few Meadow Pipits >SW plus all the usual species.
   A cloudy morning tomorrow with a moderate WSW wind at 10 degrees so slightly less windy than today.
