A dark cloudy morning at Fly Flatts with full cloud cover on a moderate SW >5 gusting 6 at 8 degrees but feeling much colder in the wind. Light rain by 0945 hrs.
Sand Martins and Swallows were the highlight of the morning with a steady flow of both species low over the water >SE drying up by 0830 hrs. Approx 50 Swallows and 20 Sand Martins through.
Just 7 Wheatear this morning plus 6 Pied Wagtails and a pair of Stonechat along with several Meadow Pipits.
Common Sandpiper were up to 3 along with 4 Oystercatchers and 6 Redshank plus the usual Curlews and Lapwings. A single Raven was being mobbed by Curlews.
Apologies for yesterdays blog which is now published below todays. I was quickly skimming through the RNLI lifeboat live web cams last night and got involved watching Hornsea lifeboat launching and completely forgot that my blog was ready but not published.
A 50% chance of rain early morn but soon clearing to leave a bright day on a moderate westerly starting off at 7 degrees.
