Distant on the west shore. Same place as I found the Green Sandpiper
a couple of weeks wash.
6 of 8 Mallard bumblies.
Some heavy snow blizzards at Fly Flatts this morning on an icy cold N>4 at 2 degrees with a few brief sightings of the sun in between.
Not too much about today but the Herring gulls were back in the NE corner along with 3 LBBs on the water.Common Sandpipers were still showing well whilst a new in Dunlin was on the east back inside the compound along with Redshanks.
No sign of the Ringed Plovers today which is the first day they have gone unseen since the 28th of February. Maybe moved on or just sheltering from the snow showers under the north banking.
Just time late afternoon for a quick check of Mixenden reservoir where 1 of DJSs 2 Common Sandpipers remained and only 1 of the earlier 3 Gt Crested Grebe was on the water.
Just 1 adult LBB on the water as well as 1 2s Herring gull. Several Swallows were feeding over the water but no other hirundines.
