Fly Flatts

Canadas back on the moor

Red Grouse in breeding plumage

Rain heading my way

Fly Flatts 0800-0930hrs

A rapidly deteriorating morning from bright and breezy to near gale force SW>6 and driving rain by 0900hrs then fogged out, just normal sunday morning stuff.
The moor is back in full swing not with Curlews established along with Meadow Pipits and a single Redshank. Couldnt find a Wheatear but there again it took me all my time to find the footpath on the walk back in the horizontal drizzle.

19 Canadas
11 Curlew
1 Redshank
4 Red Grouse
