Seeing June out at Fly Flatts.

 

                                    2 juvenile Wheatear






                                    Juvenile Stonechat

                                    Around 400 Canadas

                                    Redshank on the distant peninsular

A nice cool morning at Fly Flatts with near full cloud and odd breaks of sunshine on a moderate 
SW>3-4 at 14 degrees.
    A single Common Sandpiper, Redshank and Oystercatcher were present but very distant, sticking to the north shore and peninsular, whilst once again, the air was alive with Swifts.
    The 2 home bred juv Wheatear seem to be here for the duration now along with a single home bred Stonechat whilst several juv Meadow Pipits are now fledged. Otherwise, just a few LBB gulls as well as the usual species. 
  Although some good birds at Fly Flatts this month I have had no new species and very disappointing on the waders. The water will have to keep going down, from where it is now, if I am to get any decent July waders.
    A forecast for morning of a low chance of rain on a light WNW starting at 14 degrees.
