Fly Flatts pm visit

  2 Pink Footed geese >NW distant and high over the wind turbines.


Much more pleasant at Fly Flatts late pm with a cool W>4 blowing away that stagnant, stale feel the area had got stuck in. Cold at 2 degrees with mist trying to creep in over the moor.
                                                              The birds were livelier in the fresh wind with several BH gulls dropping down onto the water before moving off >N whilst around 15 Herring gulls were heading >W. The two grey geese ,above, came over very high and distant above the turbines suspected as being Pink Footed and this was confirmed off the misty photos back at home.
                                                              Up to 3 Stonechats were mobile around the boatyard  with 3 Kestrels in the air above. The conditions this evening gave that look of the area being fogged off in the morning but we,ll just have to wait and see.
