Strange place to find a Willow Warbler in the nettles
Goldies heading off >S
Fogged off at Fly Flatts this morning so down below the cloud base to a murky Leeshaw which cleared after 0900hrs.
Several Golden Plover were feeding in the fields before moving off >S and well as Lapwings.
Some shoreline showing but only other waders present were Oystercatchers.
Odd to find a Willow Warbler in a bunch of nettles amongst several juv Meadow Pipits.
Nice to meet KM up there who had recently in the past few days had Whimbrel and Green Sandpiper and a possible Yellow Legged Herring gull.
