A mid afternoon visit to Fly Flatts with a diversion to Cold Edge Dams after a text from DJS with a Whimbrel located near to the dams. A moderate W>4 was blowing with broken cloud and some sunshine at 10 degrees.
On arrival the bird was still present feeding well but keeping at distance and against the sun angle for photos. A cracking find by Dave , a bird that could easily have been dismissed as a Curlew.
Fly Flatts was just a quick visit producing the usual waders with 3 Common Sandpiper, 4 Dunlin, and the usual 2 Ringed Plovers.
A pair of Teal flew over the water as well as 5 Swallow. Boats on the water so could,nt check the east bank or compound area
Two more messages today with a White Stork >W over Thornton, M.P. and a Whinchat on Nab Water Lane, B.V.
