Rushed dinner time today so a quick check of the Flood this evening and 15 minutes watch on Roper Lane.
The Flood still not producing any waders as yet but there is always something to see and very rarely nothing although sometimes they are to search for.
Roper Lane produced my first Queensbury Swifts this year with several slowly drifting through >N.
