2nd Dunlin, SW corner
A good 2 hour session at Fly Flatts with a good moving sky at 100% cloud cover clearing to blue skies near and of watch. An icy cold NNW >4 was blowing dropping to NNW>3.
A lively morning with a good amount of vis mig quietening as the skies cleared. Meadow Pipits and Swallows were moving through low over the water whilst Herring and Lesser Black Backed gulls moved >SW. A single Common gull was a rare visitor for Fly Flatts.
Good to have a word by phone to HC and DCB who were manning their Oxenhope watch point.
