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.

Fly Flatts early p.m.

 Another hour at Fly Flatts but again, early afternoon which is not a good time for this venue. A light SSE>3 with very dark clouds at 18 degrees made scopeing difficult in silhouette conditions.
                   With Ruffs turning up at various sites I thought I may have a chance at Fly Flatts but every Ruff I have had previous years are usually early morning birds and gone by midday.
                   The 3 juv Ringed Plover were still present and joined with an adult though the 2 Dunlin had moved on. A single Snipe was the only other wader found.
                   A group of  5 Wheatear were on the shore along with 6 LBB gulls and a few Black Headed whilst a move of wildfowl was apparent with 14 Mallard on the water as well as 3 Teal and a pair of Tufted duck plus a text this morning from DK reporting 4 Shoveler on Redcar Tarn.
                  No boats out today at Fly Flatts with the water now too low for safe sailing.
