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.
