1 of 8 Common Sandpipers present
2 Oystercatchers on the distant east bank spit.
Another day of the dreaded heat, sun and blue skies which normal people enjoy but certainly not me at Fly Flatts.
A light SE>3 was appreciated early doors which activated the birds slightly but by 0830 hrs the heat took over putting a stop to any movement with waders settling down around the banking.
At least 8 Common Sandpipers were present along with a total of 5 Redshank and 2 Oystercatchers whilst 3 Snipe were chipping from distant fence posts.
The usual 2 LBB gulls were still present on egg watch with 5 Black Headeds on the water. Otherwise it was down to the usual species and another early finish due to the conditions.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
