A much livelier morning at Fly Flatts with a fresh E>3 at 6 degrees with clear skies and full sun.
The entrance track was a good start to the visit with the fence lined with Wheatear, Meadow Pipit and Stonechat whilst a Snipe flew out of the dyke and onto the Flat Moor.
Down at the water waders were very active with 5 Redshank, 2 Ringed Plover, 3 Oystercatchers and 2 Dunlin but no Common Sandpiper sighting.
A single adult LBB gull was on the water and 3 Herring gull headed >NE whilst a single Kestrel hovered over the west ridge, a bit of a scarce bird this year.
The above birds plus Curlews, Lapwings, Geese etc made for a busy mornings watch. Easterlies again tomorrow so hoping for Tern, Kittiwake or Little gull although it could be a bit late for the latter.
