Light at the end of the tunnel, Fly Flatts.

 

                                Canadas pairing up
                                    Displaying





                                    and mating
                                    1st returning Oystercatcher



A decent weather morning with a cool SW>4 at 3 degrees with full cloud but good visibility.
      A touch of things to come this morning with the Canada geese very vocal, pairing up, displaying and mating, which livens the place up with the sound of spring.
    A surprise to find the first returning Oystercatcher, two weeks earlier than last years first returner on the 9th Feb. Curlew next then Ringed Plover, if things go to plan, then a few weeks wait for Redshank and Dunlin.
   Very little else present other than a Kestrel, Raven and Barn Owl plus the usual species.
I put the heading,' light at the end of the tunnel' but my old garage manager, who was a real doom and gloom merchant, used to say, " If you see light at the end of the tunnel it will be a train coming". Another of his many sayings was " every silver lining has a cloud".
   About the same forecast for tomorrow with the wind turning south.
