Fly Flatts p.m. Stonechats and Goldies.

Female Stonechat

male Stonechat

A cracking male Golden Plover. ( Northern , altifrons)

female southern

Fly Flatts p.m. with an increased E>5-6 and 40% cloud cover.
The same bird wise as this mornings visit but the pair of Stonechat were out and showing well although keeping their distance.
Back at the Nolstar field 25 Golden Plover were present with a stonking male northern variant .
These fields need checking daily now whilst they are holding Goldies as Dotterel could drop in with them.
The Dotterel I found up on Soil Hill many moons ago was on 17/4/2008 whilst the Nolstar 3 Dotterel were found on the 1/5/2017. Watch this space.
