An early morning visit to Fly Flatts was hot and uncomfortable as expected although a pleasant SW>3 was blowing across the west back .
A lively morning with the usual species though nothing special and the Ringed Plovers and Dunlins moved through.
This morning gave a count of 83 Canada chicks whilst the Greylag chicks are now well grown and getting out of the danger zone.
Up to 9 Common Sands present along the west bank along with 2 Grey Wagtail and 3 Pied but only a single Wheatear across on the Robin rocks whilst a Merlin skimmed across the moor. A Cuckoo called throughout from down in the valley .
Otherwise it was Curlew, Lapwing , Mipits , Reed Buntings etc.
Good to bump into DP on the banking giving his scope some stick.
A drive along the top road failed to produce Wheatear or Stonechat.
