Fly Flatts 1630-1800hrs Heavy rain then brightening.
Checked out the north end ponds first which produced even more Redshank and a few Common Sandpipers, otherwise that end of the reservoir was reasonably quiet apart from plenty Swifts and LBB gulls moving through. The fields mid way along the reservoir held approx 50 young Canadas plus the 215 adults counted this morning, looks like they,ve had a good year so far.
A bigger count of Dunlin and Redshank from this morning with the ponds included but again no sign of Ringed Plover, even this mornings bird was missing, looks like they,ve moved on.
