With Fly Flatts lost in a howling SW>5 with heavy drizzle and low cloud is was a quick check and on to Leeshaw.
Leeshaw is already underway with waders on the move and going by the amount of shoreline this is the place its going to happen. Up to 4 LRPs and 1 RP were present as well as the other waders listed.
Viewing is distant , especially with the water so low , so a scope is recommended. Note that viewing is from the track only as all the reservoir grounds are strictly private. I applied for a permit to YWA but was turned down through the usual health and safety job.
