A sunny Fly Flatts

 

                                    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.
