A steady morn at Fly Flatts.

 

                                        Teal and Tufted duck

A brisk SW>4 gusting 5 this morn at Fly Flatts with 90% cloud ad patches of sunshine at 13 degrees.
     Another trudge along the west bank failed to produce any waders with just 16 LBB and 2 Black Headed gulls on the shore.
     A few wildfowl was a pleasant change with 9 Mallard, 1 Teal, 1 Tufted and 4 Canadas. The female Tufted and its 4 young that bred at Fly Flatts keep alternating between this site and Cold Edge dams.     Down on the fence line, the Whinchats had gone, leaving 4 Stonechat, 8 Wheatear and several Meadow Pipits, all very mobile in the wind.
   Nothing skyward other than 4 Kestrel and a single Raven plus a handful of Swallows motoring >S.
Cloudy sunshine for tomorrow on a light SSW  at 11 degrees.
