Fly Flatts at 0800 hrs had a low cloud base with mist patches over the west ridge on a light SW>£ at 7 degrees but brightening as the day wore on with bright skies late afternoon.
A steady vis mig watch with Mipits coming through after 0930 hrs but in ones and twos only with several heading >NW whilst Lapwings were the mover of the morning heading >SE with 8 staying on the south shore before moving off again.
A small tight bunch of 4 Coal Tits >W looked out of place over the water which held a good count of 16 Tufted and 18 Teal along with 5 Mallard.
A Peregrine did a fly over but didnt cause any problems.
By late afternoon the Teal and all but 12 Tufted had gone with 4 Wheatear on the shorelines.
The Black Redstart is still hanging on at Withins Head farm where I should think all interested birders will have seen it by now.
