Fly Flatts/ Cold Edge Dams

               Hovering Willow Warbler
    Plenty Willow Warbs at Cold Edge

                Cold Edge Reed Buntings

                                             Redshank
                   Pair Tufted
                        More Reed Bunts

A disappointing morning with an icy cold W>6 and light rain showers.
Fly Flatts was nearly unworkable in the strong wind with white horses steaming across the water.
Cold Edge was a little more sheltered but quiet in the skies.
Fifteen minutes sky watching from Corporal Hill on the way home failed to find any Swifts though text reports were coming in of small numbers.
