Trying on my patience, Fly Flatts.

 

                                1 of 3 Wheatear



                                    Juv Grey Wagtail


                                    Noisy Raven.

A morning as yesterday, weather wise, with early low cloud and mist which soon cleared to leave 80% cloud and patches of sunshine on a light SW>3 at 12 degrees.
     Apart from the weather being the same as yesterday, so too was the birding with very little to brighten up the morning. Acres of muddy shore and not a wader in sight other than a single Lapwing on the east shore along with 11 LBB and 3 Black Headed gull.
    Only 3 Wheatear and a single Stonechat on the fence line along with several Meadow Pipits, whilst around 50 Goldfinch were working the track side thistles.
   A Willow Warbler was in the lagoon tree, with a juv Grey Wagtail down in the lagoon inlet.
Nothing overhead other than a few Swallows >S and a noisy cronking Raven heading for the quarry.
  Meanwhile, the water held 4 Canadas and 9 Mallard.
A bright morning showing for tomorrow with cloudy sunshine at 12 degrees but a moderate Southerly strengthening late morning.
