NOTE !!
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.

Fly Flatts

 

                                    6 Ringed Plover present


                                    8 Oystercatcher

                                    Difficult walking, legs tied up
                                    Bailing band around 1 leg

                                    9 Greylag
                                    Plus one white




A decent spell of weather at Fly Flatts with a light SW>3 at 4 degrees with good visibility on 50% cloud and some sunshine.
     Good to see 4 Ringed Plover on the east bank plus another 2 on the west bank along with 8 Oystercatchers and 4 Redshank which is a good count to say there is no shore.
     Plenty Lapwings and Curlew on the Flat Moor but no more appearances of  Golden Plover, whilst 9 Greylags are on the water, along with the white job, and Canadas are up to around 250.
     Nothing in the way of small passerines, other than Mipits, and its looking like this could be the first March on record with no Wheatear at this site.
    Back to the dreaded light east wind tomorrow which has a good chance of a foggy morning on the tops.
