Fly Flatts.

Male Wheatear

Willow Warbler

Common Sandpiper in lagoon

Passage bird

South bank watch-point

A clear, bright morning at Fly Flatts with some cloud and sunshine on a SW>3 at 12 degrees.

A clear out of waders at the moment with only a single Common Sandpiper found and no sign of any Ringed Plovers. Wheatears kept the show going well into a double figure count again along with clouds of Meadow Pipits, whilst a Willow Warbler was in the lagoon tree on its way >S.

Near empty skies again with just a distant Peregrine over as well as a LBB gull with the Swifts once again absent making me wonder if some have already moved on.
