keeps raining to wet the mud. If the mud dries out its
game over.
instead of lapping your feet.
A much better day at Fly Flatts both early morning and late afternoon with 90 % cloud cover, 21 degrees and a cool SW>3-4.
A very quiet day but a nice surprise this morning with 4 islands appeared out in the water looking good for waders and already being used by the geese.
The juv Peregrine was slightly nearer today using the soyth shore and seen to be sporting a silver ring on its right leg. If anyone gets to scope the Dean Clough chimney birds we,ll know if its the same bird.
A group of 11 Greylags flew in from over the Nab, 7 of these being this years birds bred here and only just started flying. Its amazing how quick they master it.
The east shore this morning only held the usual Canadas along with 2 LBB gulls and a single juv Herring with quiet skies.
This afternoons watch found a Cormorant in the water but left after a couple of dives, discovering there are no fish in here. The only wader, which I found in the last minutes of the watch, was a single Ringed Plover on the south shore water line which is now a good 100yds away and moving further out daily.
