Fly Flatts 0700-0930 hrs. 100% cloud cover breaking up by 0845 hrs on a cool S>4.
First real signs of vis mig this morning with around 40 House Martin on wires as I drove through Bradshaw then 36 over Fly Flatts >S along with several Swallows.
Up to 50 Meadow Pipits were heading >W along with 2 Skylark.
Otherwise all was quiet with just the usual species present and no waders on the shore. A group of 6 Kestrel were hovering over the west back and whilst I was trying to get a photo of the 6 together from my NW bank watch point 4 waders flew behind them by the SW corner as if to land but were spooked , probably by the Kestrels, and headed off high and >W. Luckily I got 2 on film but very distant and zoomed in on the computer they turned out to be Golden Plover.
