A livelier morning at Fly Flatts

 

                                Dispersion, 1 of 3 Willow Warblers.



                                    8 Wheatear present
                                Deep coloured male

                                    Wheatear on a boat mast.



A bright and breezy morning at Fly Flatts with a moderate W>4 at 13 degrees. Around 50% cloud with sunshine.
           The sky was much livelier today with a steady passage of LBB gulls >SW whilst 2 Buzzard and 3 Kestrel were hovering over the moor and enjoying the wind. A single Raven was mobbed by Crows as it headed >NE over the Nab.
          A sign of dispersion with 3 Willow Warblers in the lagoon tree whilst 8 Wheatear were along the south bank with several Swallows overhead but not a single Swift for 3 weeks now.
        If things go as normal I should be reporting my first Black Redstart anytime now.
