An icy cold Fly Flatts

 

                                       5 Wheatear present

                                Usual Stonechats


                                    and Reed Buntings
                                    LBB and Herring gulls >SE
                                    2 Dunlin



                                    4 Common Sandpiper

An icy cold NE>4 at 3 degrees with 50% cloud and sunshine.
    The waders were mainly staying bunkered down on the peninsular this morning out of the cold wind with just 4 Oystercatchers different from yesterday as well as a Snipe heading for the Flat Moor.
   A steady flow of Swifts all morning >SE as well as a few LBB and Herring gull in the same direction.
Only 5 Wheatear remaining that I could find whilst the usual Reed Buntings, Pied Wagtails and Stonechat were all busy carrying food. 
    Spotted Redshank, Ruff and Sanderling are due at any time if they are to visit me this year.
A wet start to the morning tomorrow brightening as the morning goes with a cold Northerly wind at 4 degrees.
