Female Ring Ouzel
33 Lapwing. Raggalds Flood
Fly Flatts 0645 hrs. A real mix if weather with an early sunrise soon giving way to dark clouds and drizzle before eventually brightening towards the end of the watch.
Gulls were the main movers in the sky with several Herring, LBB and BH gulls in various directions whilst a good move of Siskin was apparent with 38 all >NE in 3 tight flocks. 3 Grey Partridge was unusual for up there and 8 Greylags headed >N.
Near the end of the watch a single female Ring Ouzel flew low over the water from the boat house area so I back tracked and caught up with it down near the feeding station but no others were showing.
Just 33 Lapwing by the Raggalds Flood.
