Odds and Sods

 Is mud starting to show at Fly Flatts or is it as DJS says floating peat.
                                      Canada coming in to land
                                 Oystercatcher probing the moor
                                 Curlew flypast.

A few pics from yesterdays outing to Fly Flatts as today has been alright if you wanted to sit in the garden but hopeless for birding. Hot sunshine and clear blue skies is good for raptors but little else.
Mr Turner confirmed today that the pied Blackbird on the recent photo was not his bird that he sees daily, his having a Ring Ouzel type broad neckband. The bird can usually be found at Shelf Moor cricket ground behind the Shoulder of Mutton on the area of cut grass by the pavilion.
A couple of bad reports from today were :-
Ovenden Moor is on fire near the wind turbines but a local fireman says as yet it is not serious, lets hope it rains before the school easter holidays.
The other sad point being that 1 of the Mixenden reservoir Coots has been found dead on the shoreline, probably an air rifle victim.
