Ey up, what have we here ??
Stranger on the shore, Oh its DJS.
Another mild dry morning at Fly Flatts with a light SE>2 with full cloud at 6 degrees . The sun was desperately trying to brake through but never made it.
Surprisingly, the pair of Common Scoter were still on the water from yesterday even though last night was a sailing night with boats out on the water.
Up to 9 Wheatear were present looking very smart in their breeding plumage whilst 6 Common Sandpiper were along the banking edges as well as Redshank, Oystercatchers and Ringed Plover.
The Greylags with 5 gosling yesterday are sadly down to 4 today with one gone missing during the night, possibly down to several Weasels in the area though Greylags have managed to keep all their young on previous years.
Otherwise down to the usual species with , once again, no sign of the Dunlin which may have moved through.
Good to have a word with DJS who was doing the long walk down the north bank and the length of the west bank. Dave was also getting Wheatear at the north end of the water along with a few Golden Plover. Many thanks for sorting out my Whatsapp bird group problem Dave.
BS.
