A steady fall of waders, Fly Flatts

 

                                    Usual Redshanks
                                    4 Common Sandpiper new in

                                    Another 2 Oystercatchers arrived


                                    Annual pair of Pied Wagtail
                                    Another 2 male Ringed Plover arrived





                                    Swallows over the water


A foggy start at Fly Flatts soon lifting to leave misty visibility with heavy drizzle throughout at 6 degrees on a very calm W>1.
       The rain I ordered along with the overnight fog seemed to do the trick with 4 Common Sandpipers present along with another 2 Ringed Plover and 2 more Oystercatchers whilst 20 + Swallows were feeding over the water.
       No moving gulls with just 6 LBB on the west bank harassing the Lapwings whilst 4 Reed Bunting were in the lagoon tree along with Meadow Pipits.
     A light wind round to the NW in the morning but no rain until midday, hopefully no fog either.
1st Swift due in the next few days.,

6 LBB gull
4 Common Sandpiper
6 Oystercatcher
6 Ringed Plover
4 Redshank
4 Reed Bunting
c 20 Swallows
+ usual Curlew, Lapwing, geese etc.
