NOTE !!
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.

 

                                    New in, Ringed Plover













                                    Peregrine causing problems
                                    1 of 6 Wheatear

A pleasant enough morning weather wise with full cloud on a cold NW>4 turning W>3 at 12 degrees.
      A new arrival today with an adult Ringed Plover moving around the south and east shore but no other waders other than a distant Snipe, a scarce bird this year at this location.
  A single juv Peregrine and 2 Kestrels were again being a problem along the north shore, the Peregrine just missing snatching a young Tufted off the water.
   At least 6 Wheatear were present along with 3 LBB and 2 Black Headed gulls whilst a single Stonechat was on a distant wire fence. Several Swallows were heading >S in migration mode.
   Another check for Black Redstart failed to turn one up though one is being seen at Blackstone Edge reservoir. Several Wheatear around Withins Head farm.
   A cloudy morn tomorrow with a moderate NW and chance of showers at 14 degrees.
