with 2 dogs stood on my back.
All Canon 300mm f4 L IS.
Plenty Meadow Pipits
A good run of weather at Fly Flatts with another dry, clear morning on a cold NNE>2 at 2 degrees. Around 80% cloud with short spells of sunshine.
Just the usual waders to keep me company this morning but all mostly distant at the northern end of the east bank so a morning of scope work. Only 3 Ringed Plover found this morning plus 4 Common Sandpiper and 2 Redshank along with Oystercatchers, Curlew and Lapwing.
Nothing moving skyward with just a single Herring gull and LBB gull >NE plus a few low and fast Swallows >N. The annual breeding Swallows are now back in situ at their Balkram Edge site.
On the plus side, the water is receding nicely with the valve open and already showing small areas of muddy shore. If any long and heavy periods of rain stay away over the next week things should be starting to look good.
Another dry morning tomorrow on a cold 1 degree >NE with hopefully good visibility.
