Another cold Fly Flatts morning. (no public access).

                                           Still a good count of Dunlin present





                                        Several Lapwing chicks present


                                           Mother watching on
                                  A muddy Common Sandpiper.


              female Pied Wagtail, bred again at last years nest.


Another icy cold start to the day at 2 degrees lifting to 5 mid watch. The wind was once again from the NE>4 with cloudy sunshine.
                                                 A bad start to the morning with a missed photo opportunity as I drove in the top gate. A Snipe dropped out of the sky onto the track about 30 yards from me but by the time I,d unloaded the camera it had gone.
I had to park further along the launching ramp today as a Lapwing had 4 very young chicks at the side of where I usually park and she was a touch upset so I got out of the way so as not to distress her.
                                               No new arrivals today other than a female Ringed Plover but I should,nt complain with the number of waders etc present, it.ll be a different story when I,m stood up here in winter with not a bird in sight.
Just 2 Wheatear present and a steady flow >N of Swallows and Swifts over the water along with 5 Swifts >N over Nolstar along with a Raven being mobbed with corvids as I stopped on the way home to have a social distanced word with DJS who was checking out the area.
