Another dabble at Fly Flatts.

 

                                    Very little shore left exposed. SE corner.

                                   Ray of sunshine on the west bank Winnie Rocks,
                                     'Tattie Pie Hill'
                                        Buzzard dodging the turbines

                                    Mobbed by Crows



                                    2 Raven joined the affray. 



                                    1 of 5 Stonechat

                                            1 of 4 Reed Bunting

A dry but very dark morning with full cloud cover but good visibility on a light W>3 at 8 degrees.
     Very little movement this morning other than a few Mipits and a group of 10 Chaffinch >S which was unusual for this site, even at this time of year.
    A lively compound area with 5 Stonechat, 4 Reed Bunting, 1 Wren and 1 Pied Wagtail whilst 2 Buzzard were over the wind turbines being mobbed by 3 Crows and 2 Raven. A few Red Grouse on the Flat Moor, and just before I left, 34 LBB and 6 Herring gulls dropped onto the water along with 7 Canada geese, but otherwise, a steady morning.
     A cloudy day tomorrow with a moderate westerly at 10 degrees and chance of showers.
