Fly Flatts, Bright and breezy.

 

                                    5 LBB gulls present
                                        3 CY



                                    now 35 Greylag goslings
                                    The front gos probably going to be white.
                                    Plenty Swifts over the water


                                    usual waders, Common Sandpiper
                                    and Dunlin





                                Curlews more mobile now. Soon they will be gone.
                                   Dunlin

Another bright sunny morning with 20% cloud and sunshine on a cooling NE>3 turning E>2 at 9 degrees.
            Usual waders present and once again very little movement from them spending most of the time sleeping on the waters edge. If the weather does,nt improve soon, reservoir wise, its going to be mid July before I get a new species wader, if then. No spring Greenshank, Sanderling, Turnstone or Black Tailed Godwit this year.
        All the Greylag goslings were out on the water this morning with a new brood of 5 making 37 goslings altogether, one of the larger birds very pale looking like it will be another white one.
         Just 5 LBB gulls on the water with several Swifts feeding overhead. Unusual not to have heard a Cuckoo yet this year with usually one present down in the valley and seen on the Robins Rock.
