Fly Flatts 0730-1000hrs. Cloudy, early drizzle, strong ENE>6.
Near perfect conditions this morning at Fly although scoping proved difficult with the strong wind in your face but the overnight rain and strong wind livened the job up with water, sky and shoreline full of birds.
Several new in Redshank and Dunlin were showing but after extensive scoping at both end of the reservoir only 1 Ringed Plover was found so they were very well hidden or moved on.
Canadas were onmass but the PF goose from Ogden wasnt amongst them, whilst in the sky LBBs moved through >N and a good 200+ Swifts fed over the water all slowly moving into the wind >NE.
