Perfect weather conditions at Fly Flatts for this mornings watch with 100% light grey cloud cover and a light W>4 which soon swung back round to SW>3 at 5 degrees.
Despite the good conditions the skies were quiet with a single Buzzard over the western ridge and 2 Ravens high beyond the Nab. Otherwise it was down to Canada geese to supply the entertainment with numbers built to 35 but no signs of the Barnacle which will probably be at Cold Edge . Only two Mallard on the water and 8 Lapwing on the east bank with still no sign of Curlew around this area making them a day later back than last year so far.
