The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

Fly Flatts revisited

Just 1 Sanderling showing tonight







Ringed Plovers and Sanderling by the famous tyre.

Fly Flatts evening visit, W>6 with occasional sharp shower, sunny. 1700-1815hrs.

Nice to bump into 2 more hardy birders tonight, firstly DJS scanning the Within fields and secondly JW down by the water.
All the activity was again at the SE and S area with several of the Dunlin and Sanderling moved on. As I was watching a flock of 8 Ringed Plover came in from the south taking tonights total to 19. Only one Sanderling remained and stuck with the Ringed Plovers.

19 Ringed Plover
1 Sanderling
