Fly Flatts a.m.

           2 Barnacles on water, the 3rd is paired up with a Canada
                                         in the top fields.
                                   Rare visitors, 3 Tufted duck



                 A fast flying Snipe flushed but not as fast
                            as Big Bertha.


A decent morning at Fly Flatts once the fog had cleared leaving it bright and sunny with mist to the west on a light W>3.
                                Plenty activity in the skies until the clouds burn off leaving clear blue sky which killed the job mid morning.
Down by the feeding station a pair of Wheatear along with the pair of Stonechat were present but very mobile on the edge of the moor but the Whinchat seems to have moved on.
                                 A nice surprise to get 3 Tufted on the water showing some signs of movement after a very poor winter on the wildfowl scene with no Goldeneye or Wigeon being seen as well as Whooper Swans failing to show.
                                A few Linnets were the first this year whilst on of the Barnacles seems permanently pair up with a Canada goose spending most of their time in the top fields.
