An afternoon visit to Fly Flatts, 1500-1700 hrs proved reasonably quiet in the icy cold NNE >5 with some heavy snow showers but otherwise bright with good visibility.
Only 6 Canadas were present with the rest of the flock either on the moor or in fields at the Oxenhope end whilst wader numbers are starting to build though no shoreline as yet.
Three Ravens nearly got past me until one decided to start cronking and a Sparrowhawk fast and low over the moor was unusual for this site.
Wheatears are moving through with 3 male and 2 female on the banking but no sign of DJSs Twite but another hugging of seed down may tempt them in.
5 Wheatear
3 Raven
3 Redshank
2 Oystercatchers
9 Lapwing
2 Curlew
2 Kestrel
1 Sparrowhawk
2 LBB gull
1 Buzzard, very distant to the north
