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.
