A lull at Fly Flatts

 

                                        2 of 5 Redshank

A very hazy morning at Fly Flatts with a milky sky and some sun. A cool ENE>4 at 4 degrees.
      The cold wind from the north east has put a stoppers on the job at the moment with a lull in movement at Fly Flatts.
   Still 5 Redshank present but the Oystercatchers have moved on, as they did last year before both pair returning with a chick each. The Ringed Plover is long gone but hopefully more will appear this month along with Common Sandpipers and then Dunlin in a couple of weeks.
     Just 4 gulls present this morning with 2 Black Headed on the water and 2 LBBs on the north bank but otherwise down to the usual Curlew, Lapwing and Mipits, along with 2 Pied Wagtail and a white Greylag very high and >NE which I thought was a Whooper Swan until I scoped it.
    Same forecast as today for tomorrow with a lighter NE starting off at 5 degrees.
