Start of the returning waders.

 

 FLY FLATTS                        The 2 Barnacles seem to have paired up now.
                                                   1 Ringed Plover

                                            1st returning Redshank

                                                 as well as a single Dunlin



Dry and clear at Fly Flatts this morning with mist hanging low in the valleys, mainly to the east.
A  light SW>2 with 50% cloud and some sunshine.
                               A touch of wader movement this morning, after a few days wader-less, with 1 Common Sandpiper, 1 Dunlin, 1 Ringed Plover and a single Redshank whilst 2 Cormorant headed >SE.
                           15 BH and 6 LBB gulls were on the shore along with a minimum count of 18 Wheatear, mostly juvs or adults in moult. A  Raven and Buzzard were overhead but no sign of Swifts for over a week now. A bit of a heart stopper with a white head and neck sticking out of the long grass at the north end, just after MP had text me with 3 Little Egret >SW over Doe Park at 0645 hrs, but the nearest I got was the white Greylag goose.
