Comments: End of nice nocturnal conditions with initially a wonderful fogscape complete with great rolling fogbanks over the tops and inversion fog below.... fogs soon coming up however and morning rapidly deterioratingwith little visibility for a long while. An early morning Redstart hanging around the watchpoint was good. Very interesting initially but soon closing down, not to recover as the morning improved.
