More of the nasty hot stuff but again a decent SE>3 making it acceptable in the morning at 9 degrees but late afternoon was near unworkable, visibility wise, with hazy skies ans heat shimmering shoreline.
Only 1 Dunlin remaining today along with the usual waders whilst the highlight was watching the post breeding Starling flock working the fields with a count of around 400.
A couple of Buzzard were enjoying the thermals way over the moor whilst a female Merlin was harassing the Starling flock without much success.
Plenty Swallows over the water today but a poor turn out of gulls with just 2 LBBs and looking bad on a June Wheatear with none showing now in the area which is normal for June at this site.
Next target wildfowl species which usually occurs this month at Fly Flatts is Common Scoter.
