Passerine day at Fly Flatts. (permit only)

 

                                                     Good fall of Wheatear.




                                           Wheatear and Stonechat



                                                       juv Pied Wagtail

Once again Fly Flatts was shrouded in mist first thing but soon cleared leaving cloudy sunshine on a SW>3 increasing SW>4 by late afternoon at 12 degrees rising to 19 degrees.
                                 Much quieter skies today even though conditions were much the same as yesterday.
The only sky movement was a few Swallows >S and 4 Herring gull>NW, one of which settled on the water briefly.
                   Otherwise it was down to passerines with swarms of Mipits around the area and a nice count of Willow Warblers, Stonechat and Wheatear whilst a single Snipe was flushed from the lagoon.
                     No access on the west bank this afternoon whilst the new wind turbine is installed.
