None birding day.

 With fog on the tops and heavy rain, plus 2 dogs to bath and groom and knowing the water will be back to the overflow after the heavy night rain, as well as no downloading photos to the laptop, I decided to give it a miss and get one of the dogs sorted leaving the other one to do tomorrow.
      With only one day to go to July and about 2 weeks before things start moving, its beginning to look like a sad do for returning waders unless we get a drastic long dry spell. Fly Flatts is usually poor for returning waders even when the water is down with spring being the busy wader time but not this year with constant high water.
      The best I can hope for is just singles of Sanderling, Green Sandpiper and Greenshank plus the usual Dunlin and Ringed Plover but I,ve nothing to beat from the spring waders with only 3 Dunlin, when I usually get double figures, plus 6 Ringed Plover and Common Sandpipers, plus the usual annual Redshanks etc. Just one outstanding wader was Wood Sandpiper which I'm sure will be the bird of the year.
     Only 1 Common Scoter so far this year but I usually get more in July and hopefully a Tern or two,
time will tell.
      Another forecast for dry and cloudy tomorrow on a light north west, hopefully its better than todays duff forecast for dry and clear!
