They don,t like the heat, Fly Flatts,(permit only)

 

                                                     juv Wheatear
                                        Ringed Plover taking the sun
                                            Several juv Lapwings
                                       Good move of Herring and LBB gulls


                                                  acres of shore
                                             all this is usually water

                                                       even got a harbour entrance
                                        The Lagoon has got to attract Green Sandpiper
                                          3 distant Chinook helicopters in the haze

0730 hrs at Fly Flatts and already 21 degrees but early cloud and a light SW>2 kept it bearable until the sun broke through and then it was head for shade behind the clubhouse.
                               As expected, very quiet wader wise with just 1 Ringed Plover and 2 Common Sandpiper found, even scoping the north end mud. All the Wheatears had moved through leaving just the 2 original juveniles on the shore as well as tons of Meadow Pipits.
                             Sky movement comprised of a single Teal >SE, around 60 Swifts >S and a good count of Herring and LBB gulls >SW with just the 2 juv BH gulls on the north shore.
                             One more hot day to get through then back to normality though today was nothing like the life threatening conditions that the media promised us who always tend to put the fear of god into people when there is snow, wind or heat on its way.
