5 minute sunrise over t'mill
Black Dyke chimney in sun and cloud.
1 of 5 Tufted
8 Teal present, female
male
A real manky morning with the sunrise lasting 5 minutes before being blanked out in fog. Ogden was misty and drizzle throughout on a light W>2 at 10 degrees. The skies cleared by 0945hrs, just in time for knocking off time.
No sign of the 3 Wigeon from yesterday with just 8 Teal showing along with 5 Tufted and the usual Mallards although I only did the east bank this morning.
Another good count of around 150 small gulls on the water as well as 3 Herring and 4 LBB. Just 6 Chaffinch in 'passerine alley' along with the usual common species. The last sighting of the morning, as I was at the car tackling up, was a large flock of around 100 Woodpigs very high and >SW.
A cloudy morning tomorrow on a light SW>3 at 7 degrees, deteriorating to chance of rain after midday.
