Fly Flatts

There,s a Wheatear on that rock......Honest !
Black Headed moving through

Dean Head from Fly Flatts

Fly Flatts    0730-1000 hrs  A bright start with blue skies and sunshine but but 0800 a bank of low cloud wiped out visibility. Luckily it soon cleared leaving grey skies and a strong W>5.
The moors were quiet other than a few Meadow Pipits still carrying food and even the water was void of birds apart from 6 Canadas. Wheatears were on their return journey but very flighty, hence the photo, and Swifts poured through after 0930hrs. A walk down to just above Dean Head and a scope of the shore produced a juvenile Greenshank which DCB later informed me that 1 had flown over him and in my direction earlier so it was possibly the same bird.
