Back to the icy cold SE>3 at Fly Flatts with a low cloud base and mist moving through but soon clearing bringing some blue sky and sunshine at 4 degrees.
Everything anchored down from the cold wind this morning across on the north shore and peninsular
with a single Ringed Plover, 1 Dunlin, 4 Redshank and 4 Common Sandpiper as well as a single Oystercatcher.
Just 5 Wheatear showing as well as Stonechat and Reed Bunting plus the usual species with nothing in the sky.
Looking good tomorrow with a light NW starting off at 8 degrees with cloudy sunshine turning to full cloud late afternoon with rain and chance of thunderstorms. I say its looking good but with Ogden Lane to the car parks closed from tomorrow until the end of May, as well as several roads around Oxenhope closed or delays and long diversions to Leeshaw, also until the end of May, plus Cold Edge Road from Wainstalls to Oxenhope closed I could be in for a problem.
Hopefully, with the sailing club and several farms up there I,m hoping that there will be some kind of access. Watch this space.!!!!!!
