Dunlin and Redshank
Swifts still piling through
Dunlins out on the estuary.
Another wet and wild morning at Fly Flatts with heavy rain shiowers on a moderate W>5 but good visibility apart from trying to scope the east bank through a wind blown scope.
Once again the whole area was alive with Dunlin along every shoreline and several in the SE corner now that the rain has topped up the pools. This is the first year I,ve had Dunlin outnumbering Common Sandpiper.
The big Swift move continued this morning with birds heading >N throughout. Otherwise it was down to the usual species with onlt 12 big gulls present.
