Very dark skies and heavy showers at Fly Flatts this morning on a moderate S>4 at 12 degrees.
An overnight fall of Wheatears was apparent with at least 18 counted, mainly juvs, all around the south and east shore along with a high count of Meadow Pipits. Just a single Stonechat was among the Wheatears but yesterdays Willow Warblers have moved through.
Just the usual Oystercatchers, Common Sandpipers and Ringed Plovers with no Dunlin for the last few days. A single Curlew flew overhead very high and >W.
Just a female Tufted on the water and 4 Kestrel overhead which have bred nearby.
Wet and windy again tomorrow, so they say.
