Good weather, bad birding. Fly Flatts.

 

                               Few islands left on the south shore

                                    Floating jetty launched.

A glorious morning at Fly Flatts with cloudless blue sky and wall to wall sunshine on a cold NNW>3
at 4 degrees.
   Despite the clear conditions, birding was very poor with next to nothing skyward other than a few Mipits >S. Any activity was on and around the water with 12 Greylags, 5 Canadas and 2 Tufted duck whilst 54 LBB gulls were on the north shore.
   A small count of Mipits were around the rapidly disappearing shoreline and in the compound, along with 2 Pied Wagtail and 7 Stonechat, all very flighty between the compound bushes and fields.
    Perfect conditions for moving Pink Footed Geese but, despite constant sky watching, none to be seen to the north, south and west of the eastern ridge.
   Another bright morning forecast for tomorrow with full sun on a light NNW starting at 4 degrees.
