Fly Flatts

                                                 Oystercatchers

                                       Golden Plover
                                       Plenty shoreline ready


                                                 The ponds
                                A good year for Common Sandpipers
                                       Not many Curlew left on the moor
                                          Kestrel in the sun.

As expected, hot and sunny at Fly Flatts with a slight N>2 and cloudless skies.
Nothing moving in the sky which came as no surprise in the conditions but plenty waders around the ponds and plenty shoreline showing ready to tempt the migrants down.
Most of the waders seemed to be keeping out of the sun this morning sticking to the long grass, not good for the camera.
