NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

A reet poor do, Fly Flatts.

 

                                    Peregrine heading over.

                                    Down to 3 Wheatear
                                    Catching insects
                                ad Pied Wagtail
                                Low cloud over the turbines
                                    Mist over the moor
                                Peninsular now under water.
                                No shore beyond the slipway.

A very damp and dismal morning with a low cloud base and full dark cloud with drizzle on a SW>2 inc 3 at 10 degrees.
      With no shore or peninsular left now and the lagoon and reservoir full to the brim only 2 Common Sandpipers could be found having to make do with the cobbled bank although, in the past, I,ve had Knot, Spotted Redshank, Turnstone, Greenshank and Black Tailed Godwit as well as the usual waders, all on the cobbles rather than the shore.
      Just 3 Wheatear remaining until the next wave arrives,along with adult and juv Pied Wagtails plus Reed Bunting and tons of Mipits making the best of a fly invasion.
    A Peregrine flew over the water and was mobbed as it passed the Nab by Crows and a single Raven.
A quiet and eventless morning.
