Dense fog on the tops this morning so over to Leeshaw which was difficult to work on a low cloud base with mist and fog banks constantly moving through on a light SE>3 at 5 degrees.
A drake Wigeon was the highlight of the morning but only a brief sighting before it moved to the west end of the water and disappeared into the mist, not to re appear. The 3 long staying Pink Footed Geese were in with the Greylags but nothing else on the water other than Canada geese and Mallards
whilst a Heron was on the banking.
At least 4 Redshank present and a count of 26 Oystercatchers along with Curlews and Lapwings but otherwise just down to the usual species.
As I drove home, past Oxenhope graveyard, a Nuthatch flew out and landed on the wall at the roadside, a bit of an unusual sighting.
Looking like a bright sunny day tomorrow on a light westerly starting off at 6 degrees.
