Foul Weather - Leeshaw and Ogden

A grim do late morning, early afternoon with a strong wind and heavy showers interspersed with light showers - wet throughout.
With a report of Comic Terns at Hollingworth Lake this morning, I gave a couple of local reservoirs a coat of looking at.
(I've not heard the term 'Comic Terns' before and I had to Google it to find out the meaning).
