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.

The lull continues, Fly Flatts.

 

                                        1of 2 Tufted

                                        Single Kestrel
                                    Juv Wheatear.

Poor conditions this morning with a light WSW>2 turning SW>3 with very dark clouds and rain by 0930hrs at 10 degrees.
     My alternate good day, bad day, did'nt work out this morning but changed to bad day, very bad day, with very little of interest and not a single wader to be found.
    A good count of 72 LBB gulls were on the NE shore as well as 5 juv Herrings whilst 2 juv Tufted and a single Canada goose were on the water. A few Swallows headed >N along with 3 House Martin and the south shore held 3 adult and 1 juv Wheatear as well as 2 juv Pied Wagtails.
   I seem to be missing out on Flycatchers and Warblers passing through the compound area so far this year and its getting late now for a Tern species.
   A cloudy day tomorrow with the wind back to a very light SE and smelling like fog at 11 degrees.
