LBB gull 3cy
6 LBBs present
Single GBB west bank
8 Common Scoter, 5f 3m in the mist
Very flighty
Good weather conditions this morning at Fly Flatts with a light mist on a NE>3 at 5 degrees. Full cloud with the wind increasing slightly at it turned north.
Black dots out in the centre of the water as I arrived looked promising so quickly out with the scope to find 5 female and 3 male Common Scoter out in the centre but very flighty doing several circuits over the water but settling back down each time. They were still present as I left but boats and canoes were getting ready to launch for their Sunday session.
A single male Wheatear was new in whilst the 4 Common Sandpipers were still present along with the usual 4 Ringed Plover, Redshanks and Oystercatchers etc.
A Great Black Backed gull was on the west bank briefly but left as 6 LBB gulls dropped in nearby whilst , what I believe to be a 2 CY Lesser Black Backed gull flew over looking unusual with dark eye and still retaining pink legs but mantle too dark for Herring.
