Fly Flatts 0730 -1000 hrs.
Fly Flatts was on good form this morning with clear blue skies and sunshine but a cold NNE>5 blowing stopping much chance of birds from the south.
A nice start to the morning with a distant Ringed Plover moving through but staying on the limits of camera range whilst a single Redshank was close by.
Plenty Canadas and Greylags but no sign of the Barnacle today.
Only 3 Curlews showing so far but plenty calling Golden Plover on the moor.
Skies were quiet other than corvids and parachuting Meadow Pipits.
CK scoped a Teal at the north end but hidden from view from me.
