Wheatear fall after a clear night
Fly Flatts 0730-1000hrs Foggy start which soon lifted to leave bright blue skies and warm sunshine. NNE>5
Most of the movement was at the start of the watch whilst the skies were still misty, once the sun came through the birds settled and started to feed.
As I drove on Withens Gap road Meadow Pipits were everywhere on the roadside and walls but by the time I returned all had moved >W.
Down by the water Mipits lined the shoreline slowly moving off in dribs and drabs >W,and Wheatear seemed to be on every rock and fence post. A moving Tree Pipit was a nice suprise, especially as it dropped down in a bush momentarily before moving on again.
