Fly Flatts.

 

                                    Short Eared Owl




                                    1 of 2 juv Wheatear.



                                    2 Oystercatcher chicks



A nice fresh morning at Fly Flatts with a moderate WSW>4-5 at 15 degrees being mostly cloudy but odd periods of sun.
    A Short Eared Owl was the first bird seen but dangerously close to a pair of Oystercatchers with two very young chicks. Just one Dunlin seen today along with 2 Redshank, way over on the peninsular, whilst a Lapwing was mobbing a Buzzard near the turbines.
    Two juv Wheatear were present, which were probable the home bred birds, as its still early for returners. Lots of Swifts feeding over the water making it an exceptional month for this species. A few LBB gull >SW but otherwise down to the usual species.
     A cloudy morning for tomorrow on a light SW at 14 degrees with chance of thundery showers p.m.
