Fly Flatts in the wind. a.m.

First returning Oystercatcher to Fly Flatts

Seemed happy on the floating jetty

Plenty Canadas but no Barnacle goose.

Very dark clouds and strong SW>6 at 28 m.p.h. but fine with decent visibility despite the low cloud.
A single Oystercatcher was on the floating jetty, the first back this year at this location, but still no signs of Curlew. Canada geese were mobile between here and Cold Edge but the Barnacle failed to show again. All quiet in the skies this morning with the strong wind.
