Dense fog in Queensbury but luckily Ogden was reasonably clear with the mist coming and going but by the time I'd spent 1 hour there at 0930hrs it was lights out with thick fog. Pleasant enough conditions with a light E>2 at 5 degrees and remaining dry.
Just stuck to the prom and west bank this morning with just 12 Black Headed gulls on the water along with 1 Herring and 1 LBB. The Little Grebe was still over in the NE corner as well as 2 Tufted duck whilst a noisy Raven was overhead being mobbed by Crow.
The west bank trees were quiet other than a flock of Great and Blue Tits working their way along the tree line along with the usual common woodland species.
The Alders this winter have had the best fruit on for several years but a real washout for winter visitors. They started off well at the back end of last year with regular Bullfinch, plus a low count of Redpoll and even lower count of Siskin, but this year the Alders, so far, have remained empty.
A temperature drop for morning down to 1 degree with a cloudy day and low chance of rain and snow on a moderate easterly plus of course, the fog.
