Another clear morning at Fly Flatts. Still windy but less than yesterday with a SSW>4 gusting 5 with full cloud and light rain showers at 6 degrees.
Waders improving slightly now despite the lack of shore, as water still plummets out of the overflow and looking unlikely to be shoreline showing for any spring migrants.
A pair of Redshank were new in whilst the Ringed Plovers were back up to 3, along with 4 Oystercatchers, around 40 Lapwing and 4 Curlew.
Meadow Pipits have done their usual springtime act with 2 yesterday and back en masse today with Mipits everwhere, in the compound, along the banking and on the moor.
Several Lapwings are now settling on the Flat Moor but being heavily harassed by crows. Hopefully it will encourage Golden Plover which has become a rarity around this site.
Back to a strong sou'wester tomorrow and more rain, see what I mean about the shoreline !
