A much better late afternoon at Fly Flatts in near perfect conditions with a SW>4 dropping to S>3 with 100 % light grey cloud cover and much calmer water.
A more spring like feeling about the area today with 28 Mallard and 4 Canadas on the water but no return of the Barnacle with is over the Nab at Leeshaw reservoir at the moment. A Raven was soaring over the bumps whilst a Buzzard was up at distance over the moor towards Oxenhope. A male Stonechat was at the far end of the boat yard along with 5 Meadow Pipits.
As I was driving back up the track a flock of 16 Golden Plover dropped down onto the flat moor but none at Nolstar at the moment.
