Wild Westerly, Fly Flatts.

                                  Merlin harassing Mipits on the shoreline



0730 hrs at Fly Flatts where luckily the wind had increased to W>5 which had cleared the fog so just a few squally showers to contend with.
                                                           Again, no sign of waders but a good overnight fall of Meadow Pipits on the south shore with around 100 present along with 3 Wheatear, all being harassed with a Merlin which , after several attempt , went away hungry.
My first thoughts on this bird were juv Hobby but was thrown by the white collar.
                                                           A real Tern moving day but only a few Black Headed gulls through >NW as well as a couple of Lesser Black Backed.
