A wild morning at Fly Flatts with a moderate SW>4 gusting 5 blowing, bringing drizzle showers over the moor. Around 80% cloud with a few gaps of sunshine at 9 degrees.
A good move of LBB gulls >SW early on with 43 over the water whilst 3 Herrings headed >SE. The 2 surviving Pied Wagtail chicks fledged today and flew a short distance from the nest but are still being fed by the adults.
Waders are sparse at the moment with a clear out of Dunlin apart from the breeding pair over the moor whilst low numbers of the usual Ringed Plover, Common Sand , Oyks and Redshank are present. Otherwise birds were keeping their heads down sheltering from the wind which is forecast to be stronger over the weekend and still SW.
