Arrived at an unworkable Fly Flatts at 0645hrs in a howling near gale force WNW>7 so it was back in the car and down the valley to Leeshaw reservoir where the wind was still strong WNW>5 with showers of drizzle and grey skies with odd patches of sunshine.
Good numbers of Wheatear around and surprised to see Goldies still in the fields. Swallows were piling through low over the water battling into the wind >N
