Fly Flatts

                                     1 of 3 Golden Plover
                                      4 Common Sandpipers present

                           2 Barnacles up on the moor
                                  and then in the water.

1530 hrs and a pleasant visit to Fly Flatts to get some seed down. The wind was blowing SW>5 but although it was cloudy it was unusually warm for this venue. A Golden Plover was in the field by the top gate whilst 2 were in the Nolstar field.
                                                            Quiet on the wader scene with Common Sands, Oystercatchers and Redshanks along the length of the west bank whilst 6 Herring gulls were still quartering the moor. The 2 Barnacles were again with Canadas up above the sailing club before flying down onto the water. Plenty Swifts feeding and slowly moving North along with a few Swallows.
