Fly Flatts this a.m. was a wash out with heavy drizzle, mist and fog patches rolling through cutting visibility down to half way across the water at times with a mod NE>4 wind at 11 degrees. Another early finish.
Plenty Meadow Pipits around the east bank plus the usual species.
One hours watch at Denholme this afternoon failed to get a return visit from the Osprey making it look like it has now moved on. Very quiet here also, the highlight being a feeding party of around 40 mixed Swallows and House Martins trawling the water before heading off south. Otherwise just a first summer Moorhen plus the usual Cormorant, Heron etc.
A text today confirmed that the Osprey was over Ogden Saturday and Sunday.
Just to show what can turn up Aug/Sept I,ve put together a few of the Fly Flatts birds from previous years during these 2 month.
