Surrounded with Wheatear, Fly Flatts


                                          Wheatears everywhere at last

                                                    Twite in small numbers
                                     Kestrel shopping for breakfast.

Bright blue sky and sunshine with a cold NW>4 easing slightly and becoming warmer mid morning.

A real birdy morning with plenty activity on the water and on the moor although the skies were quiet.
Wheatears were everywhere starting at Withins Gap , along the roadsides and at Fly Flatts with these birds being less nervy that the first 2 waves.
Common Sandpipers and Oystercatchers were on the tempting shoreline and Twite were on the Nyger seed.
None of the target birds met but nice to get amongst the Wheatear again.
