A better morn at Fly Flatts.

 

                                    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.
