Male Wheatear, peering through the mist
Golden Plovers flushed by Sparrowhawk.
The 3 Barnacles
Distant Raven
Raven mobbed with Crow and Mallards.
A foggy start at Fly Flatts with fog banks piling over the moor from the west not clearing fully until 0930 hrs leaving blue skies and sunshine on a light W>3
No sign of yesterdays Whinchat or Stonechats although visibility was poor and YW had bet me to the west bank so possibly disturbed. A single male Wheatear was in the same area along with several Mipits.
The last 30 minutes sky watching produced a Sparrowhawk harassing the Golden Plovers whilst a Raven flew >N mobbed by a strange combination of 1 Crow and 3 Mallard. Plenty Curlews and Mipits around as well as Lapwings, Canadas and 3 Barnacles.
