A bright sunny start to the morning with clear blue skies but mist banks over the western ridge. A cool W>2 at 6 degrees.
The water is still receding with acres of muddy shore and pools but, as the norm at this site in autumn, not a wader to be found, which was expected but still a disappointment.
A very quiet morning with the highlight being a Greenland Wheatear moving around the area showing a very colourful breast, long legs and 7 primary tips. Greenland Wheatears are always the last of the Wheatears to move through.
Just 5 Canadas on the water, whilst overhead, 8 Pink Footed Geese headed>SE, 2 Kestrels were over the quarry and a steady trickle of Common gulls >NE. The Meadow Pipits are now gone with just 5 left on the shoreline along with 3 Pied Wagtails, whilst 3 Red Grouse were on the moor.
Showing a damp and foggy day tomorrow with drizzle, fog and mist courtesy of a light SE at 9 degrees.
