The heat is on with full sun at Fly Flatts this morning at 10 degrees and rising. Luckily a pleasant WSW>2-3 was keeping it workable.
Plenty action this morning but waders very flighty with paddle boarders on the water and boats being prepared for this afternoons sailing.
Little Ringed Plover has always been my bogey bird for this site with usually just the one sighting a year, and that being a fly over but this year has seen a pleasing transformation with a single LRP being present, but elusive since 18th April, and was joined this morning by at least another 4. To have 5 at this site is certainly a record for me.
A pair of Ringed Plover were out on the peninsular, but staying at scope distance, whilst a count of 7 Common Sandpipers, 6 Redshank and 4 Dunlin were also present, as well as the usual Curlews, Lapwings and a single Snipe.
Just 3 LBB gulls over >N but my eyes were fully concentrating on the shoreline so anything over could have been missed.
Not looking forward to tomorrow with full sun forecast on a very light SW kicking off at 17 degrees and threatening to get up to 28 degrees.
