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.
BS.
