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.

Watching and waiting, Fly Flatts.

 

                            4 Common Sandpipers present









A much better morning weather-wise at Fly Flatts with clear visibility on 80% cloud and some sunshine. An icy cold NW>4 was blowing at 3 degrees.
      Common Sandpipers saved the morning with now 4 present along with 6 Oystercatchers and the usual Curlews and Lapwings but no sign of the Ringed Plovers again today.
  A group of 8 Herring gull drifted high and >NE whilst 3 LBB gulls harassed the Lapwings on the north shore. Very poor otherwise with just a single Kestrel in the air and 2 Swallows >N whilst Greylag numbers increase on the water alongside the Canadas and Mallards.
     Another good and dry day tomorrow with good visibility forecast but a stronger north westerly starting off at 1 degree.
