No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Fly Flatts, early a.m.

 

                                Usual 4 Ringed Plover


                                2 Teal out on the water.

A mild morning at Fly Flatts with a light SW>3 at 5 degrees with full cloud and a few light showers.
          Hard work this morning with plenty activity but nearly all scope work scanning over the west ridge and to the north of the water.
       A pair of Teal were new on the water whilst the Swallow movement from yesterday continued with several heading >N. Still no arrival of Common Sandpiper or Dunlin but very limited shore to tempt them down so far but hopefully, if the rain holds off, the YW valve is open so it only needs to drop slightly to get some shore.
