At least 9 Common Sandpiper
2 Red Legged Partridge
5 Ringed Plover
3 Dunlin
2 Raven
4 Oystercatcher.
Poor birding conditions up at Fly Flatts this morning with cloudless blue skies and sunshine on a light NE>2 at 10 degrees.
A very static morning with the waders hardly moving in the warm sunshine. Nothing skyward other than 2 Raven over the moor and a single Skylark.
Three Dunlin were new in whilst Ringed Plovers are back to 5 plus a suspected chick, going by the movements of the adult pair.
Reed Buntings were food carrying as well as Mipits but a poor spring for Wheatear where I should be well into double figures by now. A single Skylark over the moor was a stranger for this site.
Next target birds now are Sanderling, Common Scoter and Tern sp.
A light NE and a ton of fog promised for morning.
