Poor reservoir conditions at Fly Flatts, midday.

10 2cy LBB gull

1 adult LBB

Just 2 Tufted left on the water

Midday at Fly Flatts at the wrong time of day and in the wrong weather. Very warm at 16 degrees on a very light W>1 with hazy sunshine. Not reservoir watching weather.

The influx of wildfowl from yesterday had moved on leaving just 2 Tufted on the water as well as 10 Canadas whilst 11 LBB gull were on the north shore along with 14 Black Headed.

Another wave of Meadow pipits had arrived and were very flighty looking ready for moving on, probably tonight. Otherwise, 2 Raven, 1 juv Pied Wagtail and a flock of Goldfinch with very quiet skies.
