A lively start to the month, Fly Flatts.

3 of 4 juv Oystercatchers. All bred at Fly Flatts

1 of 3 Common Sandpiper

Few Meadow Pipits about

Juv Oyk and female Ringed Plover

A much more pleasant morning at Fly Flatts with full cloud on a light NNE>2 at 17 degrees.

A very lively south shore to start off the month with 4 home bred juv Oystercatchers along with 2 adults. The female Ringed Plover is still present as well as 3 Common Sandpiper, 2 Curlew and 3 Lapwing. A Short Eared Owl was quartering the distant moor but only a single LBB gull present this morning. The water level is good and the month is right so all I need now is the birds.

A part cloudy morning for tomorrow with a moderate NW starting off at 12 degrees.
