At last, a bright and clear sunny morning at Fly Flatts with blue skies and excellent visibility on a cold WNW>4 at 1 degree.
A female Goldeneye was a nice find for this site, possibly the same bird that appeared for one day last year in March. Good for Fly Flatts to start sounding like spring this morning with noisy Canada geese returning to the water and already starting to pair up. All it needs now is Oystercatcher and Curlew calling but no arrivals as yet.
A pair of Reed Bunting were in the compound area whilst 8 Mallard were on the water with a cronking Raven overhead. Nothing else of note other than the usuals its now starting to feel like I'm getting somewhere.
A dog walk early afternoon over Foxhill produced a skein of 24 Pink Footed Geese heading >N, homeward bound up the Aire Valley.
Another cracking day forecast for tomorrow showing full sun on a light WNW starting off at zero degree.
