Fly Flatts p.m. 1700-1830 hrs Sunny and dry, W>4
At last, a pleasant evening at Fly Flatts with waders quietly resting and Swifts overhead in good numbers.
No sign of this mornings Sanderling but didnt have time to check the north end although scoping that area only produced odd Redshanks.
Having said that,with all the birds at rest, even the Dunlin took some finding in the hollows. A Golden Plover was up in the field with 4 young, they seem to have moved further on this year and decreased in numbers, perhaps as Dave said they have moved away from the smoke.
