Fly Flatts, back to the overcoat.

 

                                    Racing Pigeons over the turbines


                                    2 of 3 Stonechat




                                    Usual Common Sandpipers



                                    Single Little Ringed Plover






                                    1 of 3 Buzzard.


As expected, yesterdays weather at Fly Flatts was a one day wonder and this morning me and the dogs all had our coats back on with full dark cloud on a cool W>5 decreasing to W>4 at 9 degrees. Good visibility with patches of sun by 0930 hrs.
    A relatively quiet morning, wader wise, with just 1 Common Sandpiper and 1 Redshank showing though, what I presume to be, the long staying Little Ringed Plover, gave me a good showing in the SE corner. 
   Stonechat are still active feeding young along with Meadow Pipits and Reed Buntings whilst up in the sky, 3 Buzzards and 2 Kestrels were enjoying the wind as well as a single Raven and numerous LBB and Herring gulls over >SW. Swifts and Swallows are now a common sight.
     Full sun showing for tomorrow on a light SW starting off at 10 degrees.
