Plenty Curlews holding territory.

No shoreline so down to 5 Common Sandpiper
A poor spring for Wheatear, only 2 present
A mish mash Greylag
One of my favourite sights, flying geese.
More Common Sandpipers
Fly Flatts 0645-0930 hrs Icy cold SW>6, bright with good visibility
With water right up over the banking now not much chance of waders with just 5 Common Sandpipers on the cobbles whilst an Oystercatcher was on the boat jetty.
Wheatear numbers are well down this year with just 2 females present and a third spotted by DP who was watching from the top road.
Several of the Canada geese have young now with many more still on the moor whilst 6 Greylag inc 1 white job were mobile before landing way out on the moor with the white goose standing out like a snowman.
Plenty Swallows moving through but too windy and early in the day for Swifts.
2 Wheatear
1pr Tufted
5 Common Sandpiper
1 Oystercatcher
Several LBB gulls cruising round the moor on egg watch
+ usual sp.
Still no sign of Twite despite Nyger being put down weekly.
