Fly Flatts p.m. Return of the Dunlins.

           2 Dunlins back after a blank this morning.










1500 hrs on a hot afternoon but the east wind again saved the day after strengthening from this morning to E > 6 at 27 m.p.h. lashing white horses across the water which was ideal for the wind surfers but very few boats out.
                                               A complete reverse from this morning and back to waders with 2 Dunlin present on the west bank along with 6 Redshank and around 10 Common Sandpipers.
A few raptors were up very high to the North with the usual Curlews and Lapwings creating havoc in the sky. Eight wader species so far and hopefully by the end of May I,ll have more.
                                              More House Martins were over the water and the first 4 Swifts up there today motoring >E.
