More of the same, Wheatears, Fly Flatts.

Cormorants on the move

Still several Wheatear present

Nth male in moult

Typical 5 primary tips

Female

Several Reed Buntings.

A dry clear morning at Fly Flatts with a cool NW>3 at 9 degrees with full cloud.

Around 9 Wheatear still present with several of yesterdays birds moved on but still several Reed Buntings around the boatyard .Very little in the sky other than 2 Raven and a Kestrel, though 2 Cormorants on the move, high and >NE, were a feature for this site.

Just a single Black Headed gull on the water along with the Canadas and Greylags.

Looking like a bright dry day tomorrow with a moderate westerly which will give the water chance to recede slightly.
