Fly Flatts, Wheatear and Willow Warblers




                                  Strange bird for Fly Flatts, Willow Warbler





                     Juv Wheatears nearing full plumage.



Fly Flatts   0700-1000hrs
A slow start with thick fog clearing by 0830hrs only to leave horizontal vision with low clouds overhead.
By 0915 all was clear with the sun burning off the remaining cloud.
Several very flighty Wheatears moving through with the 2 juvs still present.
Odd to find 2 Willow Warblers in the only 2 trees up there but happily feeding on swarms of flies.
A bit of banking showing now at the NE end holding 3 Oystercatchers but no sign of Twite on the Nyger and no moving  Swifts.

2 Willow Warblers
8 Ad Wheatear in autumn plumage
2 juv Wheatear
5 Greylag
Canadas down to c 100
3 Oystercatchers
1 Snipe
Several Swallows >S
