A dull start to the morning with a low cloud base and drizzle clearing by 0900 hrs to leave full cloud on a light WNW>3 at 8 degrees.
Much the same as previous days with Dunlin, Common Sandpiper, Redshank and Oystercatcher though more movement today with a good count of Swallows feeding over the water then slowly heading off >N. A Pink Footed goose was on the water which will be 1 of the 3 doing the rounds between Leeshaw, Mixenden and Ogden.
A check in the Whinchat hotspot area failed to provide but turned up 6 Stonechat and 5 Reed Bunting as well as several Mipits. Still just the 3 Wheatear hanging on around the lagoon area.
Looking like rain throughout the day tomorrow on a moderate NE at 9 degrees with chance of poor visibility. At least it will do my gardens good and top up the water butt.
