Arrival of more waders. Fly Flatts

 

                                    2 Dunlins new in.






                                    7 Ringed Plover present



A clear morning at Fly Flatts with 50% cloud and sunshine at 10 degrees on a W>4. Mist was lying down in the valley bottoms.
              Not the best conditions for reservoir watching but a good overnight fall of waders with 
2 Dunlin, 9 Common Sandpiper, 7 Ringed Plover, 5 Redshank and 3 Oystercatchers.
         A Grey Wagtail was an unusual visitor along with 4 Pied Wagtail and a single Reed Bunting.
Nothing skyward other than Swallows and Swifts all >N and very high but no gulls about today other than a single LBB on the water and not a Wheatear to be found.
