distance from the NW corner.
With the morning starting off with 4 Curlew over the garage very high and >NW I took the opportunity to check Fly Flatts late afternoon in sunshine and showers with a stiff W>5.
With the shoreline conditions at perfection at the northern end it was unbelievable that there was so little bird life around.
After a full check of the north and west shoreline and a scope of the east shoreline as well as checking every pond I came away with just 2 Common Sandpipers, 1 Lapwing, 1 Snipe and a Meadow pipit.
A few Swallows were overhead but only 2 Swift whilst at one point 4 Kestrels were in the air together.
Disappointing for this time of the year but a bit of patience and they,ll come. Tomorrow looks like it could be another Sunday washout but we,ll see.
