A cold W>4 -5 at Fly Flatts this morning with 100% cloud cover and good visibility at 5 degrees but feeling much colder in the wind.
Lots of aerial activity but only with the usual species with several Curlew, Lapwing and Golden Plover in the area. A 4 species raptor day with Kestrel, Sparrowhawk,
Buzzard and Merlin along with a very noisy Raven.
Waders ruled the roost again with 2 Oystercatchers and 8 Ringed Plover which is amazing for the small amount of shoreline showing with most of the birds confined to the cobbled banking.
Nothing on the wildfowl scene other than Canadas, Greylags, Barnacles and Mallards and no gulls present today.
