Pinkies on the move, Fly Flatts,(permit only)

 

                                            Lesser Black Backed gulls moving >SE



                                                    Single Lapwing >NE

                          Pink Footed geese approaching from the west.


                              Skein of 49 heading >SE
                                    1st skein over Fly Flatts this season.
         
A clear cool morning at 9 degrees with broken cloud and sunshine on a E>3. By late afternoon there was full cloudless skies at 16 degrees.
                                                   A nice start to the morning with my first skein of Pinkies over from the west heading off >SE and very noisy. Mipits were constant but in small numbers, the largest group being 9 but continuing over all morning. No Hirundines today at my side of the ridge though the Oxenhope lads were getting them to the east of their watch point. 
                                                   A complete clear out of Wheatears after a good scope of all the shore with none found but no doubt there will be more through yet.
Otherwise it was just dribs and drabs with the afternoon just producing a Peregrine harassing a new in Greylag goose on the water.
