Splash Point 11/3/17

Another seawatch as the wind stayed in a SE direction overnight, and for the first two hours the fog had cleared to a reasonable distance, however it soon came in again bringing the whole morning to a halt. Having a coastal patch isn't always beneficial!! Highlights of the seawatch were a pair of Garganey that flew east with two Common Scoter. When the fog had covered the entire area, a steady stream of inbound Meadow Pipits were noted.
