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.

Foggy Fly Flatts.

                                    Single Wheatear

                                    Robbing cobwebs.


                                    1 pr Tufted
                                    Alive with Meadow Pipits

                                    Tufteds in the murk
                                    1 of 4 Ringed Plover

Not the best of mornings at Fly Flatts with dense fog to start off with turning to mist and rain with fog banks moving through continuously on an E>3 at 10 degrees. 
      Not an easy watch and only a few quick scopes across to the north bank dodging the fog banks. Visibility was maintained half way across the water so the fringes of the reservoir could be checked although some of the shore, including the peninsular, are now back under water.
     Just the usual Ringed Plovers, Redshanks, Common Sandpipers and Oystercatchers were found with no sign of the 4 Dunlin.
    Lots of Meadow Pipits were present gathering food for their young whilst 4 Reed Bunting were in the compound. Just a single male Wheatear and Pied Wagtail, also in the compound, along with the usual species plus a pair of Tufted on the water, new in.
     More fog for morning on a light NE with some light rain.
