Another wave of Dunlin for Fly Flatts, (permit only)

 

                                             A second wave of Dunlin today.


                                        Thought I had a Phalarope here


                                                        Usual Common Sandpipers present



                                               female Ringed Plover
                                             Herring gulls out on the peninsular




A cloudy afternoon at 10 degrees with a moderate SW>5 gusting 6.
                              Hard work scoping today in the wind but nothing unusual found until 7 Dunlin dropped in from the SE and settled along the shoreline. Conditions looked good , in the wind, for Terns but the nearest I got was 4 Herring gulls on egg and chick patrol.
                            The usual Redshanks, and around 8 Common Sandpiper along with a Reed Bunting and 2 Red Legged Partridge plus the usual species present.
                          Looking like a strong westerly and rain tomorrow which may drop something interesting in and maybe even a Tern or two.
