A clear sky to start with but deteriorating as the morning went on with low cloud and mist coming over from the west on a moderate WSW>5 gusting 6 at 10 degrees, with light drizzle showers.
Another of those brisk, damp reservoir friendly mornings with quite a bit of activity going on both in the sky and on the deck though the gull roost has now gone with their northern shore under water and only a small amount of exposed shore in the SE corner.
A skein of 75 Pink Footed geese went overhead, very high and >E whilst several Mipits, gulls and Reed Buntings headed >SW.
A single Tufted was on the water along with 7 Canada geese and 2 Greylags. At least 6 Stonechat were present along with 2 Pied Wagtails with a distant Buzzard, Raven and Kestrel in the air.
A near miss for Fly Flatts this morning with 11 Whooper Swan on nearby Ogden Reservoir reported by
MM via DJS. None present on Cold Edge Dams or Mixenden as I drove past.
A bright morning of sunshine and some cloud on a light westerly at 10 degrees.
