Fly Flatts washout.

 

                                    2 Oystercatchers present



                                    Several Common Sandpipers


A real wet morning with early fog banks and torrential rain showers clearing to good visibility but rain and drizzle throughout on a moderate WSW>4 at a cool 7 degrees.
    Swifts and Swallows didn't mind the rain as they skimmed over the water feeding throughout the watch but very little else in the air other than 3 Herring and 2 LBB gulls >NE plus a Buzzard and 2 Kestrel. A  Short Eared Owl was quartering the moor to the far west whilst wader-wise it was quiet with just 2 Oystercatchers, 1 Redshank and the usual Common Sandpipers with no sign of the Little Ringed Plovers.
Here's a surprise, between 75% and 100% chance of rain tomorrow on a light south, turning SW, at 8 degrees. The shore is rapidly disappearing at Fly Flatts😟.
