                             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.
