First visit this year, Fly Flatts.

                                    Stonking weather at Fly Flatts
 

                                    Frozen lagoon.

                                        Still water

                                    Canadas returning

Perfect conditions at Fly Flatts with full blue sky and wall to wall sunshine on a light SW>1 slowly turning >E at 1 degrees. Icy roads on the top and lagoon lightly frozen over.

     Nice to get back and tread the tracks around Fly Flatts for the first time this year. It seemed strange using the scope after such a long time, I'd nearly forgot which end to look through.

   Quiet on the bird side which is expected this time of year with arrivals due in a couple of weeks time.

Canada and Greylag geese are returning to the water being very noisy and displaying with 28 Canada, 6 Greylag and a single Mallard.

    Otherwise, just a Raven plus the 2 resident Crows, a Kestrel and 2 Red Grouse. The Nolstar fields held a few Black Headed and Common gulls along with a single Herring gull.

    Hope you all enjoyed todays weather because tomorrow we are back to reality with a light easterly at 2 degrees with a low risk of rain and snow, plus of course, the fog.
