Fly Flatts. A very active morning but not bird-wise.

 A bright morning after the early fog had lifted with 30% cloud on a NW>3 at 2 degrees.
    On arrival at Fly Flatts the top gate hinges had been cut through with an angle grinder and the gate rammed open leaving it well bent. Down at the boatyard 2 steel containers had been broken into and, as I found out later, some equipment taken.
    After a stack of phone calls and text messages between the Sailing club and Yorkshire Water I waited around the compound for the cavalry to appear.
    Very little birding done other than checking the lagoon area and scoping around the shore from the compound. This produced 10 LBB gulls on the water, which is a bit unusual for this site, plus 1 Dipper, 1 Buzzard, 2 Raven, around 50 Mipits and 1 juv Pied Wagtail.
  Showing bright for morning with a light ENE which could bring me more fog.
