Fly Flatts as you may never see it again.

                                   All time low , North shore
                                         Across to NE corner
                                                        NE Corner
              North end of the East shore. The Nab in the background.
                                      Centre of East shore
                                             The Spit, East shore
 Bottom of the vertical fence, a wader hot spot.
                                                 SW corner
                                    SW corner and South shore
    Looking across the South shore to the SE corner
                                                        South bay
                                          SW corner
                                    Across the South shore to the boathouse.
                                              Water usually covers all this mud.
                                          South inlet from the Lagoon.

                                                    South East beach
                                                              When its full.

A good start to the day weather wise with dull skies and showers which brought DJS a Greenshank to Fly Flatts briefly in the morning but by the time I arrived late afternoon the skies were blue and the sun shone done with a moderate W>4 and bird life was near non existent.
                                                            Once again the shores were empty with just the usual lonely LBB gull which is there daily along with 10 Teal and a few Mallards. The female Mallard with 3 well grown young is still present but the remaining 2 Tufted seem to have moved on.
                                                             An amazing year for Kestrels with up to 10 birds between Nolstar and the reservoir whilst 1 Buzzard was high over Tattie Pie Hill along with 2 Raven heading west over the ridge.
                               As DJS wisely remarked, " Theres always tomorrow".
