Back among the waders, Fly Flatts,(permit only).

                                        More 'new in' Dunlins today




                                                         Usual Ringed Plover pair
                                         Around 10 Canada families so far.

                                                        3 male Reed Buntings present.

                                    What stonking birds Dunlin are !


 Mid afternoon at Fly Flatts was slightly hazy with full cloud on a light SE>3 at 8 degrees.
                                        More Dunlin had arrived all looking like are common schinzii race and not yet in full breeding plumage. Otherwise it was down to the usual Common Sandpipers etc with small waders constantly flying low over the water from one shore to the other.
                                         A good year for Curlew with several on the Flat Moor and over the east ridge beyond the wind turbines, after last years poor show.
Still 2 Wheatear present but the Ring Ouzel previously sighted must have moved straight through with no more sightings since.
