Another day of awful conditions at Fly Flatts with a misty start which soon cleared to bring blazing temperatures up to 22 degrees by late afternoon on a very light SE>3 with heat distortion present around the shoreline even early morning, hence the lack of photos.
Tomorrow is suppose to be hotter still but showing a stronger wind which should make it a bit more workable.
This long stretch of clear weather is playing havoc with waders at Fly Flatts with most birds moving away after a short stay and several waders missing altogether obviously keeping going high in the clear skies.
Most of the Dunlin had moved on today as well as the pair of Ringed Plovers leaving just 1 male present. The only newcomers today were 2 male and 1 female Tufted duck which left mid morning.
Bring on the rain!!!!!
