An atmospheric photo of Fly Flatts taken yesterday evening at
a memorial meeting for active club members lost in the past 12 month.
R.I.P. Kevin Holmes, Colin Vickerman and George Carter. They will
no doubt be greatly missed at the boatyard.

Very long legged with deep buff breast
showing 7 primary tips
1 of 9 Stonechat
Single juv Tufted duck
Dazzled against sun angle.
Once again it was small passerines that stole the show with at least 12 Wheatear on the northern bank, 2 of which were Greenlands, being large butch looking birds with long legs and a deep buff breast. A count of 9 Stonechat were around the compound fence but no sign of the recent Whinchats.
Several Swallows were heading >S in migration mode whilst 2 Raven were over the quarry.
No sign today of the 4 Ringed Plovers though scoping was difficult looking into the sun.
