Dense fog in Queensbury but took a gamble on Fly Flatts which paid off to find it above the cloud with blue sky and sunshine hazing over slightly mid watch on a light SE>3.
                                                                    The first Dunlins had arrived back this morning with 4 present by the lagoon and feeding along the south east shoreline along with Common Sandpipers, Redshanks and Oystercatchers. The exposed islands are attracting the gulls now and look ideal for Terns. Just 3 Wheatear present this morning along with 2 Reed Bunting and the usual species.
