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 West Yorkshire Birders life is not an easy one. Fly Flatts.

Another gusty morning at Fly Flatts but slightly less than yesterday with a SW>4 gusting 5 at 14 degrees with full cloud but remaining dry.

Once again mega quiet with just 5 mobile Wheatear present along with lots of Meadow Pipits, whilst a single Raven was in the air along with a Kestrel and one LBB gull.

This day last year at Fly Flatts I was looking at Greenshank, Common Sandpiper, 3 Ringed Plover and Dunlin with a Red Kite overhead.

Rain and thunderstorms forecast for tomorrow!
