sun so no detail, Gary will know what they are.
I told them to turn left at Cold Edge Dams.
1630 hrs and a late start visit to Fly Flatts to get some more seed down. The blustery
NNE> 6 gusting 7 made it difficult standing on the west bank but it was well sheltered down by the feeding station where the male Whinchat made an all too quick appearance before it dropped down into the heather not to re appear even after 15 minutes wait.
Two Mipits and a Wheatear were on the seed but strangely no Skylark sighting at this location this year.
The fall of Wheatears have dispersed with only 5 showing and no sign of the Greenlands whilst several Common Sandpipers are still present despite the lack of shoreline.
No Terns through as yet but we need some nasty drizzly stuff to get those coming through low enough to see.
A stop off at Nolstar on the way back produced nothing but Angela and Gary located the Goldie flock there earlier in the day. Well done to those two for giving it a go in blustery, cold conditions.
A text from a reliable source this morning reported 2 Swifts over Ogden and the Mute Swans gone.
NK and myself have no records of Mute Swan ever being seen at this location and even checking back to the 1800s in records inc HSS nothing was found, unless you know different.
