Fly Flatts

                                   Distant Snipe on the move


                          Several skeins of canadas

Fly Flatts  0700-1000hrs
A good morning condition wise after a rocky start with banks of heavy drizzle coming over the moor but by 0830 these had passed leaving a good grey sky and a SW>5.
Meadow Pipits were moving early along with 2 Tree Pipits but this dried up by 0800hrs.
The first moving Snipe were heading west at a distance and a Peregrine followed by a Sparrowhawk was a bonus. Two Curlew came over whilst Swallows were pouring through as the morning went on, these were also seen on my way home and over Queensbury.

Looking like Twite have given up on Fly Flatts

Thanks for letting me out of the top of New Park Rd Tracy, that was me with the sofa sticking out of the back doing shifting for the daughter at Shelf Moor. Bet you thought I was taking it to Green Lane for the birders.
Hope to get there at tea again weather permitting for another Buzzard?
