An icy cold wind at Leeshaw early morn with full cloud, mist on the tops and constant drizzle at 2 degrees.
As expected, very little to show with around 50 Black Headed gulls, 5 Common, 3 Herring and one LBB. A single Raven went over along with a small squadron of Starling >SW whilst 2 Stock Dove were in the goose field. The water just held Mallards, Canadas and Greylags, all on a small count, along with a single Cormorant and 6 Lapwing on the bank.
A Dipper was down in the beck and an overwintering Meadow Pipit was present. Otherwise down to the usual species with no overhead movement.
Not the best of forecasts for morning with rain and a near gale force sou'westerly.
