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.

The lull continues, Fly Flatts

A very windy morning at Fly Flatts with SW>5 gusting 6 at 14 degrees with a mix of sunshine and drizzle showers and 80% cloud.

With next to nothing on site it was a matter of watching and waiting for something to happen which never did. Just 3 Wheatear present along with 2 ad LBB and a single 1 CY LBB with a Kestrel battling in the wind. The usual Canadas and Greylags were on the water with some of both species not quite ready for flying as yet.

With no shore and more rain to come its looking like being a poor Aug/Sept for waders at this location.
