Fly Flatts 0815-0945hrs
Cool NNE>5 dropping >3, Cloudy with some breaks in the sky, early light rain.
I put on yesterdays blog about having to stand some disappointing mornings at Fly Flatts, well this was one of them.
The skies were empty showing no signs of even gulls or corvids and the water was much the same with the Canadas and Mallards absent.
A single male Goldeneye broke the duck, so to speak, and 2 Reed Buntings were in the solitary tree. Red Grouse have somehow survived the big freeze and several were calling on the moor.
The saviour of the morning was a call I picked up on as I was ready for leaving and a Curlew flew over >W very high and almost out of vision without bins.
