Fly Flatts early a.m.

                                 1 of 2 Dunlin, south shore


  Common Gull, unusual bird for here



                                       LBBs on the north shore
                                                         LBB
                                              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.
