Male Ringed Plover
female Ringed Plover
3 now present
2 female
Plenty arguing going on.
Possibly 2 pair present if these two are males,looks that way.
Down on the slipway.
A better morning at Fly Flatts but icy cold before sun up at 2 degrees on a biting S>4 increasing 5 with
40 % cloud and sunshine.
A much more active visit today with a new arrival Ringed Plover, possibly two, but very mobile darting about feeding at distance and in and out of the reed bed. A definite male and 2 female with probably a second male.
A couple of Curlew were present up in the top fields as well as a single Oystercatcher and 3 Lapwing.
Other new arrivals were Meadow Pipits with a group of 12 around the boatyard and several more Canadas on the water along with the usual Mallards whilst a single Raven was over the quarry.
Plenty Skylarks about now in the usual field on Cold Edge Road.
A calm and sunny day forecast for tomorrow but with the breeze from the SE it could mean fog for the top.
