ENE F1/2, 5degC, 300m, 4/8 fog stratus, QNH 1020 rising.

0730-0800hr HC

Disappointingly, thick fog at watchpoint this morning put paid to any notion of vis-mig. Came back down into the Worth Valley, where conditions were not much better - very murky. The valley cleared sufficiently at 10.30 hrs to permit a visit to Leeshaw till 11.30 hrs -

birds seen :-
Fieldfare - 115 NW (2 flocks)
Redwing - 22 NW (2 flocks)
Starling - 236 NW (6 groups)
Grey Lag Goose - 16 N
Chaffinch - 2 SE
Alba wag - 2 W
