A double entry today due to the computer acting the goat at lunchtime but after an emergency call to super hero Stuart, the son in law, all seems shipshape again.
A bright sunny morning with excellent visibility on a brisk S>4 but the day deteriorated by late afternoon to grey dark skies with rain showers on a strengthened S>5.
The shorelines are a hive of activity now with a minimum of 10 Common Sandpiper, 5 Redshank and 2 Oystercatchers and hopefully they,ll soon be joined by Dunlin and Ringed Plover, both of these species usually arriving at Fly Flatts around the second week of May. Little Ringed Plover rarely use this location with only a single sighting over the last 2 years.
A group of sub adult Herring gulls were across in the NW corner whilst 6 Wheatear, 2 Red Legged Partridge, 3 Kestrels and several Swallows were present along with the usual species.
