                                         Storm clouds and rainbow over Queensbury last night
                                                     Sunset
                                     Turned purple in the torrential rain.

Decent birding weather yet again at Fly Flatts early morn with full cloud on a W>3 at 11 degrees with good visibility.
                     The area was alive with waders this morning after an overnight arrival of Dunlin mostly using the north muddy shore so only scope-able from my position and not enough time to go to that end to check them out. 
                     An adult female Ringed Plover was new in whilst a juv Ringed Plover appeared near to where the long staying pair had their first brood. One chick was sighted but then disappeared so possibly this fledged juv is the bird from that brood, the way the male was protecting it, although I have,nt seen it for several weeks. 
                    Another 8 Curlew headed >S as well as around 100 Swifts whilst a single Skylark was a rarity for this site. A real busy morning.
