Fly Flatts in the snow, (permit only)

 

                                                A snowy scene at Fly Flatts mid afternoon.



                                     A band of mist over the water
                                    The peninsular through the blizzard.
                                                 The waders and Canadas did,nt seem to bother.

Heavy snow early morn and looking serious so did,nt risk a trip out other than dog walking although the snow amounted to nothing. Mid afternoon looked brighter and dry until I got to Fly Flatts where it snowed heavy continuously throughout though hardly settled. A light NE>2 at 2 degrees but not unpleasant to be out in though the low cloud and a band of mist hanging just above the water did,nt help matters.
            By the time I was packing up the snow was getting worse and starting to stick and after 4 hours of snow early evening Queensbury now has a good covering.
              The usual waders were present not seeming at all disturbed with the snow with 6 Redshank and the pair of Ringed Plover plus 2 Oystercatchers which are paired up and arrived a few days ago so possibly the 2 from Ogden.
                A single Snipe was chipping on the moor whilst the usual Canadas and the Barnacle were present.
