Went up to check Blackstone Edge and Whiteholme Reservoir this morning and was met by horizontal rain, fog and strong winds. The conditions were almost impossible to bird, with optics becoming saturated in a matter of minutes upon stepping out of the car. Fortunately it was not a complete loss as a new Sanderling was feeding away on the mud among the Dunlin. There could easily have been other interesting waders hidden away in the murk, but I couldn't see them. I did not bother venturing to Whiteholme, I had already suffered enough punishment for one morning!
