From the weekend, Fly Flatts as you seldom see it.
Plenty mud, no waders
A perfect moving sky today with full grey cover and little wind.
DJS started the ball rolling with an Osprey over Hunter Hill at 0730hrs followed by a grapevine text at 1506 from NCD with a Red Kite over Mt Tabor heading east which meant it was heading for Queensbury.
Out into the car park and sure enough , after 10 minutes I spotted it to the east of me and rising high.
It looked to have come from the Soil Hill direction and was still moving east.
I nearly took the big camera to work this afternoon but being busy thought against it so by the time Id snapped it with the little pocket job I ended up with specks.
All the same , a good Queensbury bird so many thanks to Nick and Dave for the quick alert. See Calderbirds for reports and proper pics.
NCD also had Greenshank moving through.

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.
