Fly Flatts  0730-1000hrs. Cold NE>4 after overnight rain, dropping calm and warm with full cloud cover.
 A real birdy morning with something to watch throughout the trip. No sign of moving birds in the sky but several Wheatears around but the morning was dominated by the amount of waders on the extensive shoreline now showing. These birds were mostly confined to the east and north east shoreline so a scope is required for decent views. Very few hirundines moving through and no sign of Swift yet.
