Fly Flatts. Views means few birds.

  Early doors at Fly Flatts  0715hrs

                   The mast is cockeyed not the photo

                                   Moon still out

                            Sun breaking through

                  Tons of shoreline but too late
                     for waders now.

                                  Gulls in the shallows

                           Looking NE to the Nab

                                   Unusual to have Nov Canadas here.

                                          The long walk back.

               Miles of moorland

                                                 Still waters

A cracking morning with a light SW>2 increasing >3 with good visibility and blue skies.
Looking now as if yesterdays Thrush rush was a last main move drawing a close to this years visible migration season with empty skies this morning and all Meadow Pipits cleared from the moor.
The reservoir held Common and BH gulls along with 17 Canada geese which is unusual this time of year. A single Greylag goose flew towards Cold Edge and odd to see Mallards piling in from the >E ending up with a record count for this site of 58 all lined up along the east shoreline.
