No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Fly Flatts

                                    Plenty Common Sandpipers around




                                          1 of 2 elusive Golden Plover

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.
