Fly Flatts, Swifts on the move. (permit only)

Fly Flatts a.m. was again dry and clear with a moderate W>4 gusting 5 at 8 degrees.

Nothing new bird wise with the usual 3 Dunlin, Common Sandpipers etc with 3m and 2f Ringed Plover. Swifts were the bird of the morning with at least 29 over the water >N as well as a few Swallows.

To save boring you with yet more Dunlin, Ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper photos I,ve put together 3 of last years special waders that visited Fly Flatts and hopefully will do so again this year.
