Fly Flatts 0600-1000 hrs
A sticky warm morning with a slight S>3 and blue skies clouding slightly mid watch.
Swarms of flies were present bringing hundreds of Swifts through all heading >S.
The moors were much quieter this morning with just 1 Curlew heard and the Oystercatchers and Redshanks gone. Nothing on the water other than a record count of 400 + Canadas and a few Greylag,
Two Dunlin were mobile across on the east bank whilst a Peregrine was harassing Mipits well out over the moor.
A couple of Golden Plover were back in the sheep field near the top gate, once a common area for them , whilst none were found at hunter Hill.
A check on Mixenden on the way home failed to produce any Scoter.
