A calm clear morning at Fly Flatts  with a light ENE>2 at 2 degrees and full cloud.

              Waders were the bird of the morning with 4 Oystercatcher, a single Curlew and 3 Ringed Plover. A Raven and Kestrel were overhead whilst 4 Greylag and the Leeshaw white Greylag were across in the NW corner as well as the usual Canadas.

             Only 2 Stonechat and a, now resident, Blackbird were around the compound but good to get 2 skeins of Pink Footed geese over >NW well to the south of my position.

             A mid afternoon check of Ogden produced 2 adult Herring gull in bright summer plumage along with the usual Black Headed and Common on the water.

           The 2 annual Oystercatchers were back in their usual position by the overflow whilst a Grey Wagtail was down in the sluice gate area.
