Sums up the weekend end really. Plans to go to Hilbre over the high tide were aborted Satrurday due to the fog so we ended up in Delamere looking for a Smew rumoured to be present on one of the fishing lakes near Nunsmere. We couldn't see 50 m! Plan B involved a quick trip to Hilbre after the tide for a couple of hours but it was pretty quiet with only a re-trap Blackbird and a single Malt enlivening proceedings.
Sunday wasn't much better - still foggy and dank with moisture dripping off all the vegetation. A small flock of Reed Buntings provided local interest and the usual Robin posed for photographs. I'm pretty pleased with this one as the camera was hand held at 1/40th second shutter speed and F5.6.
