Back to Fly Flatts in the wind and the rain. p.m. visit

        This mornings Oystercatcher was still present.



A 1500 hrs return to Fly Flatts proved very wet and windy with a strong SW>6 and horizontal heavy drizzle which fortunately eased off mid way through the watch.
                                                           The Oystercatcher was still present firstly in the boat compound and then on the south shore rocks so hopefully it will be joined by more shortly.
The 2 Skylark were back on the seed but strangely still no returning Meadow Pipits and no over wintering birds this year. Only 4 Canadas present up in the fields below the top road looking like most had dropped down to Cold Edge for shelter.
A better forecast for tomorrow ,still with the SW wind but decreasing in strength. It must be Curlew day tomorrow with Whoopers imminent in the next few days.
