Few Meadow Pipits ground-hopping through.
Poor reservoir conditions this morning with clear skies but hazy sunshine causing some low lying mist over the moor. A very calm SW>2 at 16 degrees.
After yesterdays full note book at Leeshaw reservoir I should have done a re-visit this morning but plumped for Fly Flatts which was completely dead. Just 4 Red Grouse, 2 Red Legged Partridge and a handful of Mipits and that was it.
The water is still going down steadily with some hope of shore plus the peninsular is starting to show so hopefully by the end of the week it may be inviting enough for a wader or two though I,m not holding my breath.
At the moment Leeshaw is the place that anything interesting could turn up with ample shore for the waders, yesterdays Dunlin adding some hope, plus the well manured fields being an attraction for the gulls.
A full week now of the dreaded hot sunshine and every day showing a calm wind from the E, SE, and NE, lovely !
