3 of 5 Oystercatchers + LBB gull.
A cracking year for Pied Wagtails
Skies full of Goldfinch
Unwanted visitor, juv Peregrine
A lot to learn yet.
You can't pick up a Canada Goose.
Having a re-think on that idea.
Perfect conditions at Fly Flatts this morning for the third day running with 60% cloud and some sun on a light W>2 at 16 degrees.
Much more activity this morning with a juvenile Peregrine low over the water fancying its chances with a Canada goose and then a lame attempt at the Oystercatchers but went away hungry. It was later see very high up harassing moving Swifts with around 20 Swifts, c40 House Martin and 15 Swallows all >S in migration mode and mega high up.
Just a single Common Sandpiper this morning as well as 3 adult and 2 juv Oystercatcher on the shore as well as 4 Black Headed gull, whilst 12 LBB gull headed >NW.
The compound and lagoon area was buzzing with Goldfinch, Pied Wagtail and Mipits along with a single Willow Warbler and 1 juv Wheatear. A Buzzard and 2 Raven were present throughout.
The hirundine and Swift movement will qualify for my first Trektellen vis mig entry of the season.
Looking like a bit cloudy and wet tomorrow on a moderate westerly kicking off at 14 degrees.
