Back to Fly Flatts

 

                                        A sloppy track

                                    Sun on the moor beyond the Robin Rocks
                                        East bank and The Nab
                                        Boat viewing area
                                    Wind turbines in the low cloud
                                        The overflow.

A surprise this morning to find the overnight fog gone, though hanging around in banks and never far away. A light SE>3 at 3 degrees with some quick patches of sun and luckily the low cloud base over the turbines stayed put leaving good visibility throughout.
     Very little doing as yet but within the next couple of weeks it should come into use. I was getting ahead of myself this morning scoping the bankings for an early wader though I could do with the water level down a bit.
    Several Canadas and Greylags being very noisy and giving it a taste of spring so it won't be long before I'm clearing the jetty of goose poo once the sailing season kicks off. A few Black Headed gulls went overhead >SE and a single Kestrel was up hovering.
    Plenty Common gulls in the Nolstar fields but nothing more than that. See what February brings!
A cloudy day for tomorrow with a chance of rain but the wind temporarily turned to the SW which hopefully will eliminate the fog.
