Fly Flatts failure.

A disappointing visit to Fly Flatts late afternoon even though conditions looked good with 100 % cloud cover on a light WNW>3.
                                                   With boat club activities going on in the compound on the east side and off lead dogs taking over the west side I came away and parked on the top road at the north end and walked down the northern track. Unfortunately the bottom of the track was waterlogged after the last few days and although I had my boots on the dogs did,nt so not wanting to bath them when I got home I aborted and headed back to the car.
                                                                    No sign of waders down on the east shore line and not a wildfowl in sight. The best I could do was a few LBB gulls >SW , several blogging Mipits and the usual Kestrels. I,d more birds yesterday in the horrendous conditions than today.
                                                                  Sky watching from the top road was like being parked on the hard shoulder of the M62 with a constant flow of traffic so after 30 minutes I decided to write the day off and call it a do. Hopefully I,ll have better results in the morning.
                                                             A bit of a check around on the way home provided 3 Wheatear and around 50 blogging Mipits at Old Guy Road , 1 of the Whinchat juvs briefly in the mast area and the Lapwing flock built to 38 in the Shelf Moor trailer park along with 14 Common gulls and 3 Pied Wagtails. More reports of the Ring Necked Parakeet are still coming in from round that area but so far it has managed to avoid me.
