Just a few more pics from yesterdays trip to Fly Flatts, could do be being up there every day in these weather conditions to see just what calls in .The area at the moment is amazing both at the north and south ends of the reservoir and once waders are present other passing birds are tempted down. The recent Barwit, Sanderling and Gropper brought my personnal Fly Flatts species list to 102 though that is going back over the last 10 years. My 2011 local species list is now at 103.
Nothing to report from Queensbury today in the heavy drizzle and near gale force winds other that large groups of Starling and House Sparrow are frantically feeding in the park which is a sign of young on the way.
