A NE wind never does me any favours at Fy Flatts and this morning was no exception with another NE and another quiet watch. A NE>2 on full cloud with a low cloud base at 8 degrees.Nothing in the sky other than flocks of around 200 post breed Starlings moving around field to field.
The usual waders present including a Snipe on a distant fence post and a Cuckoo calling from down in the valley.
Ogden mid afternoon was a bit more active put poor on gulls with just 9 LBBs , 3 Herring and a Black Headed whilst a single Common Sandpiper was on the west shore.
The 2 Gt Crested Grebe were on the water along with the drake Tufted but no sign of NKs Redshank from earlier in the day. A Buzzard soared high above the water drifting >W being harassed by several Swifts.
