NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Much of the same, Fly Flatts

 

                                    1 of 4 Common Sandpipers


                                        Few breeding Curlew
                                    8 Oystercatcher over >SE

                                    Dunlin, Redshank.
                                Now 6 Dunlin and 10 Redshank present


                                Very poor year for Meadow Pipits
                                        2 Breeding pair of Pied Wagtails.

A breezy cold start to the morning with a NNW>4 at 7 degrees but clear blue skies and sunshine.
    An arrival of more Dunlin overnight with at least 6 counted and possibly more at the north end.
The usual Common Sandpipers were very mobile as well as the Redshanks whilst 8 Oystercatchers flew over high and >SE.
    A single LBB gull was on the north bank as well as 2 Black Headed gull but otherwise all the usual species. The fire brigade have now left the area, satisfied that there is no chance of it re-igniting.
   A part cloudy morning with chance of light rain on a light NE kicking off at 9 degrees.
