Late afternoon at Fly Flatts in poor conditions with a good 100 % grey cloud cover but a very low cloud base blanking off the tops of the turbines and making visibility poor with a damp drizzle. The wind was near gale WNW>7 dropping to W>5 near the end of the watch and the sky clearing.
A walk along the west bank, or rather being blown, produced very little other than a few LBB gulls over NW and one blogging Skylark below the banking.
A thorough scope of all the shorelines failed to find any waders with just 6 Carrion Crow on the east banking and nothing on the water.
The highlight of the watch was a mass battle going on over the Nab with 2 Buzzard, 2 Raven, 3 Crows and 3 Kestrels which all dropped to the other side of the Nab not to be seen again.
