A busy east shoreline.
Not many Rooks pass over Fly Flatts.
Mallards pairing up now.
Back to Fly Flatts with the westerly still blowing and a dip in temperature. Visibility was poor to the S,SW and W due to milky white skies but clear and blue to the E and N.
The east bank is now showing shoreline as well as the SW and SE corners with the east side attracting Lapwings, Oystercatcher and Snipe.
A few LBB gulls headed over NE whilst 2 Rooks headed>S, a rare bird for this site.
Otherwise it was down to Canadas, Lapwings, and 3 Oystercatchers with a Buzzard hovering in the wind briefly but to the SW in the milky white haze.
The 8 Whoopers were still on Mixenden whilst going to Fly Flatts and on the return journey.
North wind and cloud for tomorrow which sounds more like it.

NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
