Near perfect conditions this morning at Fly although scoping proved difficult with the strong wind in your face but the overnight rain and strong wind livened the job up with water, sky and shoreline full of birds.
Several new in Redshank and Dunlin were showing but after extensive scoping at both end of the reservoir only 1 Ringed Plover was found so they were very well hidden or moved on.
