Hi ArchAngel, welcome to Bird Forum :t:

I'm almost tempted to pop down there myself this weekend if the weather is decent. Has the CE always been in the same location or does it move around ?

Might bump into you, then Ian... although I won't get there until Sat evening (if at all!!).

Welcome ArchAngel :t:

I'd be more likely there into the afternoon as I'd probably fit in Blacktoft Sands first - but it would be entirely weather dependent. I shouldn't need my BF cap for you Dave

Thanks for that. It's looking less likely that I'll make it this weekend as the weather looks to be a little damp on Saturday and I have other plans for Sunday.

This morning there is almost total cloud-cover, but it is quite high - no wind.

Not so far for me to go, so I'm gonna make the effort this evening come what may, but just an early wether tip for those of you further afield.

Still almost no wind, but the clouds are a little more menacing - although the sun is also poking through.

Doesn't look too-oo-oo bad.
