Bright and breezy at Fly Flatts this morning with a cold S>4 at 7 degrees with blue skies and sunshine but the usual bank of thick cloud over the western ridge.
Looks like I,d better eat my words from yesterdays blog when I said I never get October waders at Fly Flatts, when today a 1cy non breeding Dunlin turned up on the south shore. When first found in the scope at distance I thought I was being rewarded with a Curlew Sandpiper, which would have been a first for this site but a closer view revealed it as a Dunlin in smart winter plumage, the plumage being a first for me at Fly.
Otherwise 2 Common gull on the water, which I tried to make into Kittiwakes, along with a single Stonechat and Kestrel plus a good number of Meadow Pipits over >S.
