Here come the waders, Fly Flatts

 

                                Best I could get on a Little Ringed Plover

                                Distant Dunlin with Redshank
                                    North end peninsular
                                    6 Oystercatchers
                                    Only 6 Wheatear today
                                    1 of 4 Common Sandpiper
                                1 of 2 Dunlin, west bank.  1st back.









                                    2 pair Reed Bunting
                                    4 breeding Pied Wagtails


Only complaints about the weather this morning is that it was too warm at 8 degrees with full clear sky on a light WNW turning W>2. Good visibility other that slight milky haze over the moor.
    A good wader morning with the first 2 Dunlin arrived along with a Ringed and Little Ringed Plover and 6 Oystercatchers along with the 2 breeding pair of Oystercatchers, 4 Common Sandpiper and 5 Redshank.
   Just 6 Wheatear this morning along with Reed Buntings, Stonechats and Mipits but nothing in the air other than a few Swallows >NW.  Swallows are now back at their annual nesting site on Balkham Edge.
   A cloudy start to the morning tomorrow then cloudy sunshine by midday with the wind back to a light SE starting off at 6 degrees.
