The highlight this morning was a pair of Bullfinch which dropped into the lagoon tree briefly before continuing on >SE. Bullfinch is a first for me at Fly Flatts and my 140th species that I have recorded at this site.
Another lazy morning on waders with the usual Common Sandpipers, Redshanks, Dunlin and Ringed Plover as well as a single Oystercatcher but all acting very in-active in the heat.
Despite the reported late move of Greenshank, nothing at Fly Flatts,although a rare sighting for this site in the spring with all my sightings on return journey in August apart from a single 10/5/2019 plus
NK had 2 at Ogden 11/5/2016. Part of the problem is MC who is at the moment hogging double figures at his patch in Oxford.
Plenty Swallows over the water along with 2 Swifts, the latter being a bit of a rarity so far this year. Otherwise, just a BH gull >SE and a Kestrel over the moor, all other species, like me, are waiting for some wind, cloud and drizzle.
