Ringed Plover arrival, Fly Flatts.

 

                                Now 6 Ringed Plover on site + 2 chicks.

                                New females in are in non breeding plumage
                                Well worn and partially moulting.


                                Male showing well worn plumage.


                                    Redshanks now with young

Good conditions at Fly Flatts this morning with full cloud cover and a cold  NE>3 at 8 degrees.
           More Ringed Plover had arrived overnight with another 3 female and 1 male along with the original pair and 2 well grown chicks, due to fledge in the next 6 days.
          No new wader species in with just the usual Common Sandpipers and Oystercatchers but no sign of Dunlin today although 1 pair is known to be breeding on the moor.
         The sky was alive with Swallows and Swifts but nothing else moving other than 5 LBB gull >NE whilst a single female Tufted duck was on the water.
