2018 appearing at Fly Flatts
One of the lucky ones, Red Grouse
1 of 7 Stonechat
Fly Flatts 0815 hrs Cold SW>5 90% dark cloud cover, light showers.
Not the best of starts to 2018 with very little action at Fly Flatts with empty skies and just 5 Mallard on the water. Stonechats were the bird of the morning with 5 present down near the feeding station and at least 2 by the Withins. This is a species that appears to be on the increase again after a lull over the last few years.
The Goldeneye were still present on Mixenden along with a Cormorant and several small gulls viewed from the top road.

NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
