Up in the sunshine, Fly Flatts

 

                                    19 Grey Partridge present.



                                        74 LBB gull, mostly out on water.




                                        7 Reed Bunting

Bright and sunny with plenty blue skies but thick scud clouds to the north and west of me, at one point blanking out the Nab. A light E>2 at 8 degrees.
    A count of 19 Grey Partridge were down the entrance track as I arrived which was a good start to the morning and another wave of small passerines had arrived with several blogging Mipits, 7 Reed Bunting, 4 Stonechat and 3 Pied Wagtail along with around 30 Goldfinch.
    Several geese were in the top field with 68 Canada and 5 Greylag whilst 74 LBB gull were present on the water as well as 2 juvs on the SE shore, the latter remaining throughout the watch whilst the rest headed off >NE.
   Very little sky movement with a scattering of Mipits >S along with 16 Woodpigs.
A cloudier day tomorrow on a light southerly with rain approaching late afternoon.
