Tour of the reservoirs

   Wheatears on their way through Fly Flatts





 Stopped and dragged this poor Badger off the road
  Looked like it had been hit recently.

Fly Flatts was the pick of the bunch this morning with 3 Common Sandpipers which flew low along the waters edge disappearing under the east banking. A minumum of 15 Wheatears were around the fields below the top road.
