Raptor day at Fly Flatts.

A late afternoon visit to Fly Flatts found the wind increased peaking at NW>6 before dropping to NW>4. Much cloudier than this morning with once again, raptors running the show.
                                                      A count of 3 Buzzard, 4 Kestrel, 1female Merlin and 1 ad Peregrine but all distant views. The Meadow Pipit move from this morning was still going on with a steady flow of very high birds all heading >S.
                                                        With the winds being right for raptors I was expecting an Osprey through but not as yet though HC had one today over Barden.
Otherwise it was the usual species and no Wheatear present. Plenty smoke and smell of burning moorland coming from over the western ridge in the direction of Gorple which seems a add choice of days to burn off when the wind was so strong.
