NOTE !!
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.

Minus 1 degree at Fly Flatts.

 

                                    1 of 4 Oystercatchers
                                Oyks and 1 of 6 Ringed Plover
                                    female
                                    male

                                    1 of 2 Redshank

Another clear cold morning with a light SE>4 at minus 1 degree with puddles and lagoon frozen. A few periods of sunshine with 50% cloud and good visibility.
             No continuation of yesterdays gull movement with just 8 Herring gulls stopping briefly on the water on their way >NE whilst a steady flow of Woodpigeons moved >SW along with 2 very high Grey Wagtails.
           Another 2 Ringed Plovers had arrived overnight with 6 present as well as 4 Oystercatchers and 2 Redshank. Another couple of week and I should be looking at Dunlin and Common Sandpiper, but not enough shore for Little Ringed Plover as yet.
          Otherwise, down to the usual Curlews, Lapwings, Mipits, 2 Pied Wagtails and a Buzzard, plus a pair of Teal on the water.
