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.

Fly Flatts.

 A slightly better morning weather-wise with full cloud at 15 degrees but a nice SSE>2 cooling breeze until 0930 hrs when the cloud dispersed leaving blue sky and sunshine, time to leave.
      Another day with the camera gathering cobwebs with all activity way over on the north bank at distance and tons of heat shimmer.
    A good scope from the peninsular along the north shore to the north west corner provided more than expected with 2 ad Redshank + 2 fledged juvs, 3 Dunlin, 4 Common Sandpiper and 2 Oystercatcher, the Dunlin being a nice surprise for this time of year.
     Still at least 4 Curlew present plus about a dozen Lapwing whilst the Short Eared Owl was quartering the distant moor. Nothing in the air other than 3 LBB gulls.
   Summer solstice, (longest day) tomorrow.
More heat for morning starting at 18 degrees with a moderate SSE wind and cloudy sunshine. A thunderstorm warning for later in the day and 27 degrees temp.
