0700 hrs Fly Flatts. 80 % cloud cover with a SE>3 increasing >5. Mist in the valleys and way over the moor. Milky skies to the east.
                                                   A real birdie morning from the word go with 7 Stonechat at the south end and another 3 at Nab Water Lane. Plenty Mipits moving >S and unusual to get 16 Rooks also >S, a rare bird for this location.
A walk on the west bank to the north of the water provided 2 Tufted and a female Wigeon fresh in from yesterday, the Wigeon possibly being the Ogden bird.
                                                          The highlight of the morning was 2 Peregrine over fast and low but then a lucky break when one turned and came back high overhead. One of the birds was later found way over the moor at Nab Water Lane.
All in all a stonking mornings birding.
