NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Fly Flatts

 

                                    Usual Redshanks




                                    and Common Sandpipers


                                    Curlews busy breeding

                                    Plenty Swallows through 

A cloudy but bright morning with good visibility on a cool NW>4 at 5 degrees.
    A much quieter morning with a clear out of several waders leaving me with just 2 Common Sandpipers and 4 Redshank and no sign of the Dunlins or Oystercatchers. Even small passerines were absent with no Stonechats or Reed Buntings though plenty Mipits and Pied Wagtails.
   A cross over of  Swallows heading >N on a low level and Swifts heading >SW on a high level with a good count of both species.
   Otherwise just the usual geese, Mallards etc so a bit of a damp squib this morning.
About the same forecast for tomorrow with a light NE at 5 degrees clouding in the afternoon.
