The NE wind was far too strong to be workable today with a NE>5 gusting 6 at Fly Flatts with low cloud and light drizzle at 6 degrees.
Very little showing other than the usual Ringed Plovers, Redshanks and Oystercatchers plus a steady flow of LBB and Herring gull all >NE into the wind. Meadow Pipits were the only passerines seen.
With Ogden still out of bounds with , first Easter and school holidays then the weekend its not the place to be so a check mid p.m. of Mixenden which also turned out , not the place to be.
The wind was up to near gale force NE>6 gusting 7 with white horses on the water and a mix of sunshine and dark clouds. Given that, plus a few mad ,off the lead, dogs flying around and no birds it was not the best of an afternoon session. Not a solitary bird on or over the water and just one single Chiffchaff in the west bank trees.
Another day of the same weather tomorrow and access to Fly Flatts could be a problem in the morning with the filming of Happy Valley along Cold Edge Road tomorrow.
