Back to sunny Fly Flatts. a.m.

              A good start to the morning with 3 Heron >E



                                       A cronking Raven

   Rare bird for Fly Flatts, Rook >SW
                   Escorted out of the area with 2 Crows.
                                       Over 100 Canadas now
                                        Mallards pairing up.
                                        Still 5 Stonechat present




A bright sunny morning at 10 degrees on a light S >4 with mist in the valleys.
                                                     First birds over were 3 Heron very high and >E, obvious moving birds and a rare species for Fly Flatts. Another rare species for this area was a Rook over >SW being escorted across the moor with the 2 resident Crows which returned as it disappeared over Dean Head.
                                                      A Raven passed overhead flushing 18 Lapwing from the east bank whilst Canada geese are showing a count of over 100 now with several scattered around the fields and moor.
The 5 Stonechat are still present down the track and a Curlew showed briefly by the wind turbines.
                                                    On the way back 3 Skylark were around the Slade area and a 4th up singing making it look like it could be going to be a better year for them this time.
