Fly Flatts revisited

Canadas on the moor

90% froze

Canadas moving high >S

Canadas low over the moor >S

Fly Flatts 0630-0900hrs Icy cold E>4 Cloudy

Early start and finish today due to grandchild minding duties.
The moor was much quieter in the stronger wind from yesterday with birds keeping their heads down.
The highlight of the morning was skeins of Canadas moving >S probably looking for unfroze water, some very high whilst others were skimming the moor. Otherwise it was much the same as yesterday with still no Wheatear.

78 Canadas..................................>S
