Fly Flatts was alive this morning with a fresh fall of Wheatear all very mobile which is the norm for new birds in. All dressed in clean cut autumn plumage with several raggy juvs inamongst.
Most were in the SE corner where the shoreline is now exposed almost to the point it was a few years ago when the waders piled in.
31 were counted though there were several more around the rocks on the moor.
A Kestel was sat amongst them on the shoreline but unfortunately it saw me before I saw it.
Scoping the far east shore was near impossible in the wind but I did pick out several Lapwing, 2 Common Sandpiper and a single Oystercatcher. The blue skies were empty.
