Perfect conditions at Fly Flatts 1500 hrs with 100 % cloud cover with some very large black clouds but only very light rain showers carried on a WNW >5. The water is now over the tops and gushing down the overflow with no shoreline what so ever other than the cobbles on the west bank.
Just one LBB gull on the water along with a pair of Mallard and empty skies other than a noisy pair of cronking Ravens feeding on the flat moor, probably on the left behinds of Saturdays shoot, before flying over the water and disappearing beyond the Nab.
One Wheatear down near the feeding station but very mobile, unlike autumn birds which are reasonably confining.
Stonechats were once again the bird of the day with 9 present along the wire fence but at distance at a new position to yesterday at the opposite side of the track looking towards Slade. By the time I,d walked the reservoir and back there was no sign of them. Otherwise there was 3 Kestrels up together around the turbines.
