Fly Flatts revisited


                                  1 of 3 Oystercatchers
                             Common Sandpiper

                                 Still plenty Wheatears around

Fly Flatts   0730-1000hrs   Icy cold wind NE > 6 dropping slightly. Cloudy sunshine.
Quiet skies apart from a trickle of LBB gulls  north, a few Swallows heading south, and who can blame them, and Swifts just starting to come as I came away.  A Cuckoo was calling near Dean Head and a flighty Whinchat was on heather beyond the feeding station. Wheatears were still plentiful.
