Once again the overnight fog lifted just before kick off leaving Fly Flatts slightly misty with a low cloud base but soon clearing to leave broken cloud and sunshine on an icy cold E>5-6 easing slightly as the morning went on with a temp of 3 degrees.
Common Sandpipers were the bird of the morning with 6 showing but all very mobile around the shoreline. Otherwise waders were still in a lull with the usual Redshanks etc and still no sign of Dunlin.
Wheatear numbers were down to 7 with 4 Reed Bunting and the usual Mipits whilst in the air, 2 Raven, 1 LBB gull, 2 Buzzard and several Swallows >N.
On the way up there a Short Eared Owl was seen at distance and on the way back 2 Red Legged Partridge were showing well.
Another day of the same tomorrow with a light easterly at 3 degrees, starting off cloudy then a bright day and another threat of early morning fog.
