Very foggy morning, we covered most of the sites on the Headland and RDME was ringing in Whitbread Hollow. Birds ringed are included in brackets.
With the foggy conditions, no diurnal migration, but good numbers of Thrushes and Robins were present in the bushes.
Met Office view
High pressure centred across Norway dominates the UK bringing a light but moist flow across the UK. The light winds and moist air provides the perfect recipe for extensive low cloud and fog duiring this time of year, and this is what we can expect across much of the country today.
