A recap of Fly Flatts Spring / Summer highlights.

A dark day throughout up here in the Gods and by 1500 hrs Fly Flatts was once again wiped off the map with low cloud and horizontal drizzle so, more to get the dogs out than anything, a reluctant visit to Ogden with only about 30 minutes of daylight remaining with heavy drizzle and a moderate SW>6.
          Around 50 small gulls were on the water,75 % Black Headed, the rest Commons along with the usual Mallards. A Sparrowhawk was harassing the Goldfinch roost and that was it.

                                                         To brush away my November blues I looked back at a few of Fly Flatts highlights I was rewarded with over the spring and summer of this year :-
