NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Fly Flatts
6 Twite back at the seed
4 Oystercatchers in late morning
Good visibility, blue skies and sunshine. Early frost , cold NW>5. 0700-1000hrs.
Soon gave up the idea of the target birds and concentrated on getting any bird at all. Deadly quiet both on the water and in the air with not a bird of interest until 0915 when 6 Twite came in to the station but remained very flighty. Four Oystercatchers flew in just as I was returning to the car, otherwise a very poor morning.
6 Twite
4 Oystercatchers
3 Red Grouse
2 Pheasants
+ usual Mipits, Curlew and corvids etc.
Sev Canadas and Mallard.
