A quiet do, Fly Flatts a.m.

             Another 3 Oystercatchers in to land, 16 present.

                                        5 Wheatear present, 
                                                 male

                                                  female
  A very vunerable Lapwing chick

Early doors at Fly Flatts in not my idea of good conditions with a very light S>2 , blue skies and wall to wall sunshine.
                          Typical of these conditions the shorelines were deserted with just a few Common Sandpipers and Redshank and no signs of either Dunlin or Ringed Plover.
Aroung 20 big gulls were on the north shore whilst 5 Wheatear and 2 Reed Bunting were present.
                          Otherwise just the usual species and plenty walkers, bikers and runners appearing as always when the sun shines. An early finish and a spot of gardening.
