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 evening visit

DJSs Common Scoter



Very few LBBs about

3 of 4 very blurred Wheatears in bad light

Found myself with an hour to spare tonight so shot up to Fly Flatts for DJSs drake Common Scoter which after convincing myself Id dipped I found it but very distant views as it stuck near the NE banking.
Three Curlews were mobile on the shoreline and 4 Wheatear were at the southern end but by this time the rain was moving in with almost black skies.
Only 3 LBBs were on the northern shore before moving >E leaving Daves poor LBB with the broken wing on the far grass bank, hope it has sense to get on the water before dark!

The unglorious 12th, hopefully the fog and rain today will have kept the sad men with guns away from the moors, if they have to shoot
something they,d be better off shooting the rioters and looters and leaving the innocent birds alone, get a life saddos.

1 Common Scoter
4 Wheatear
3 Curlew
1 Common Sandpiper
4 LBBs
