Then there were 3. Fly Flatts. (permit only)

 

                                       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.
