Decent conditions at Fly Flatts with full cloud clearing by 0900 hrs to bring some sunshine on a light but cold SE>3 at 4 degrees.
First bird seen in the compound was a long legged brute of a male Wheatear with a very deep orange buff the full depth of its underside making it an excellent contender for a Greenland Wheatear, 'leucorhoa', which unfortunately disappeared through the compound fence before I could get the camera on it. It was not re-located so no check on the primaries but looked like a cert to me and right on schedule with previous spring sightings at this site.
Good areas of shore exposed now as well as plenty mud around the lagoon which this morning held 2 Common Sandpiper whilst 8 Redshank were around the reservoir shore.
Otherwise just the usual Curlew, Lapwing, Geese and Mipits as well as 2 LBB gulls overhead.
About the same forecast for tomorrow with cloudy sunshine on a light SE kicking off at 5 degrees.
