Fly Flatts, a.m.(permit only)

 

                                                   6 Wheatear present
                                           male Ringed Plover
                                              Wheatear taking a dip.



                                      Pair of Teal way out on the peninsular.


                                         new in Common Sandpiper

A dismal morning at Fly Flatts with a low cloud base, very dark clouds and rain showers on a NE>3 at 3 degrees.
             A new in Common Sandpiper was the highlight of the morning but otherwise just the usual two wader species with Ringed Plover and Redshank. A Snipe was chipping from the top fields whilst 6 Wheatear were present around the compound area but no sign of  yesterdays Ring Ouzel.
                Just Canada, Greylag and Mallard on the water as well as a pair of Teal whilst 11 Herring gull headed >NE and a single LBB went over >SE.
                A quick check for Terns at Ogden failed to produce, and sad to see 2 separate incidents of off lead dogs chasing ducks and ducklings by the waters edge in the feeding corner. A 15 minute visit was more than enough.
