A much more pleasant morning at Fly Flatts today, even though the temperature was up at 18 degrees by 0800 hrs, the moderate SW>4 made it much fresher with broken cloud and sunshine.
Every June I get a visit from Common Scoter so it was no surprise to find a single drake on the water today but always very distant despite a dash along the west bank.
Yet more Dunlin today with at least 12 in the area now, mainly using the new exposed island which is a real asset for the waders which included the usual species.
The stronger wind brought a few gulls in with 9 LBBs on the north shore whilst a drake Tufted was on the water.
