At this time of year it is lovely to have sunny autumnal days, unless you are walking around the south side of Tophill Low, when the sun is directly in your face from most of the hides! I arrived at about 0645 and already there were five cars in the car park. I decided that most of the occupants would be glued to their cameras in north marsh hide, hoping for Kingfisher and Otter. This is why I opted to walk south, meeting only two people, but being challenged by the light. It is now compulsory to wear masks / face coverings in the hides. A serious side effect of this is optics steaming up! As a result, the combination of direct sunlight and steaminess made me wonder if I was capturing any images at all! Nothing new to see, just the expected species, mainly duck - where are the waders?
