The Mecca for Waders, Fly Flatts

2 of 6 Ringed Plovers

Dunlin,cracking little birds



Waders liked this spit acting as a breakwater

FLY FLATTS 0730-1000hrs. Attrocious conditions with gale force NW>6 gusting 7. Torrential rain showers and icy cold improving slightly as the morning went on.
Bad weather but good birds which is usually the case when upland birding. Waders were plentiful with a fall of Ringed Plovers and several Redshank. A single GBB gull flew low over the water >W though sky watching was difficult in the wind, I must have done an extra mile chasing my cap. Scoping the far shore was near impossible without nearly laying down to use the scope but I think I got it fairly well covered. The last bird of the morning was a reeling Grasshopper Warbler near the boathouse which managed to evade being seen other that a shape moving in the reeds.
