A low expectancy visit to Fly Flatts late afternoon given the conditions with wall to wall sunshine, blue skies and a low W>3. With no chance of movers today other than a few Mipits >W I dropped down the banking to give some time in searching for the early Whinchat which failed to materialize .
The pair of Stonechat were present but distant in the bracken and heather keeping very mobile along with several Meadow Pipits.
Back on the south shore birds were reluctant to fly far with just the usual species present.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Fly Flatts Sandwich Tern so I,ll be checking the buoys although last year there was a good easterly blowing.
