Fly Flatts a.m.
Several Commons in with the Herrings
A cracking morning weather wise at Fly Flatts with wall to wall blue sky and sunshine on a light NW>4 though birding was quiet with gulls keeping the show going.
Around 46 Herrings went through along with 16 Commons all
>NE but several at distance over the moor then crossing the water at the north end to disappear over the Nab.
31 Mallard were on the water along with 2 Canada geese whilst around 30 Golden Plover flew low from the Flat moor towards Nolstar but not to be re located on the way home.
Not much bird wise but a good morning to be out even at 0 degrees.
