A cloudy damp morning at Fly Flatts with a moderate E>4 at 10 degrees. A brighter afternoon with the wind slightly increased to E>5 though intervals of it decreasing down to E>3.
Dunlins were the bird of the day with an overnight fall of at least 14 counted, mainly at the north end of the water on the well exposed mud near to the right of way track. Several LBB gulls were also on the shore at that end.
Several of the Dunlin were displaying and mating, as did the last wave through but by tomorrow most will have moved through.
Otherwise it was Common Sandpipers, Oystercatchers, Redshanks and Ringed Plovers along with 2 pair of Wheatear whilst several Swallows and Swifts were overhead.
Plenty Swifts and Pipistrelle bats over Foxhill the last 2 evenings.
