NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Turn down the thermostat, Fly Flatts,

 

                                         A good year for Redshank
                                          Male Ringed Plover
                                     A new wave of Dunlin passing through.


                                      Juv Redshank
                                     Can be deceiving from a distance, very Ruff like.
                                     Plenty Common Sandpipers with chicks.


                                                  very young Redshank

                                                             female Ringed Plover

                                              Ringed plover seeing off the Dunlin


More of the dreaded hot stuff today with temperatures up to 21 degrees at 0730 hrs this morning although a nice NW>3 turning W>4 made it more bearable. Clear blue skies with full sun throughout although some thick fog patches down in the valley. Bad news is, another scorcher tomorrow on a very light breeze.
                  Plenty wader activity this morning with a new wave of 10 Dunlin in from yesterday along with 6 Common Sandpiper, 5 Redshank, 3 Oyks and 2 Ringed Plover plus several juvs including 4 Redshank.
                A single Curlew was calling over the top fields whilst a Buzzard was soaring over the moor but again , no gulls over in the poor conditions. Tons of Swifts in the sky but mega high up and nearly invisible to the naked eye.
