Battling on through June. Fly Flatts

             Another breeding success for Dunlin.
                                           Just the 1 chick showing.



             Other parent bird fly catching





Another horrible hot afternoon with full sunshine and clear blue skies with heat haze distorting visibility although, on the plus side, there was a decent NE> 4 bordering into NE> 5 keeping the temperature at bay. Nearly through June now and another couple of weeks we should be starting to experience some migrants on their return journey.
                                                         A walk along the west bank to the NW corner just produced the usual Common Sandpipers with 3 Lapwing near the banking and a steady passage of Black Headed gulls >NE which is not a common bird for this site.
Curlews seem to have gone now with no sight or sound today leaving a quiet gap across the moorland.
              Nearly back to the car ,and as most times, something turns up at the last minute to save the day and today it was the turn of Dunlin with a single bird on the lagoon along with a bumbly chick.
On the south east shore another 2 adult Dunlin were present, one stood on the shoreline catching Greenfly so another day and another blog report saved as I trundle on with the month and elements against me.
                Hopefully a moderate easterly for tomorrow afternoon but no chance of a lovely grey sky and rolling clouds.
