Out on a fools errand. Leeshaw

A low expectancy trip to Leeshaw late afternoon turned out to be just that, thinking there was a slim chance that yesterdays Osprey was still hanging around but nothing showing today but if I had nt have gone Id still have been wondering.
                                                              Blue skies and sunshine didnt help matters with empty skies throughout apart from a scattering of gulls. The only waders present were 2 Oystercatchers and a single Curlew whilst 2 Wheatears were spotted briefly by JL whom I bumped into up there.
Very few gulls were present and the Yellow Legged has been absent a while now so probably moved on post moult. It looks as though the majority of geese have moved from Fly Flatts to Leeshaw with treble figure counts of Canada and Greylag along with the 2 Barnacle and the Bar Headed goose which is still present.
