Fly Flatts bursts into life plus a Bonus.

   First photographic evidence of Curlew this year

                                        Barnies back with a mate
                                           Cold Edge dams yellow ringed bird.
                                          1 of 2 Oyks
                                     A hectic peninsular
   
                                           Bad tempered Barnie
                                                     2 Oyks

1445hrs on a bright but cold afternoon with clear skies, 50 % cloud cover and a NNE>5.
                                                        Fly Flatts has suddenly burst back to life with 4 Curlew
2 Oystercatcher, 2 Barnacle geese, 94 Canadas, 78 Lapwing and 1 Raven.
                                                        Then , just as I thought it was all over, along came this :-

  This has got to be Caspian Gull, 3rd winter.
  The bird flew >N low over the water under the east banking .

 Even at the distance through bins the black bullet hole eye
 and bright white head stood out along with the milky
 white underwings.



                Very lightly speckled head
 It had just the same slow casual flight as my October bird.
