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.

A reet good soaking, Fly Flatts

 

                                    Usual Ringed Plovers
                                    and Common Sandpipers


                                    2 of each



An atrociously wet morning at Fly Flatts with heavy rain, sleet and snow throughout on a moderate N>4 at 2 degrees.
   Understandably, in the conditions, there was nothing moving skywards and too wet for scoping with all sightings confined to the compound area apart from 18 Herring gulls on the NW banking.
   The compound held 2 Ringed Plover and 2 Common Sandpiper all feeding together among the boats.
Otherwise it was just down to the usual Mallards, geese, Lapwings, Curlew and Oystercatchers. The area of shore that had appeared over the last 3 dry days will be under water again by the end of the day.
     Looking dry for the morning with a moderate SSW wind and clear visibility.
