Comments: Noah birds on the Ark today !!. Ground level Fog Stratus once again dealt a body blow to the nether regions - ouch !. However, according to Dave over at Sentry via our radio link, there is, metaphorically, some light on the horizon. Manfully manning the Ox Op`s centre (as he does), Dave advises that all lines of communication ranging from telephone calls, text messages and radar observations, confirm a massive arrival of thrushes on at least the east Yorkshire Coast and also in the Netherlands and beyond. Dave is also badly fogged off but the forecast is for things to clear after lunch. So, the Ark is abandoned and off to Sentry I go to wait in anticipation - see Dave`s report for what happened next - JACKPOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
