A muggy still morning at Fly Flatts with 50% cloud and sunshine on a light E>3 at 14 degrees.
Plenty druids up at the sacrifice stones this morning for the summer solstice.
With the sailing club preparing for Sunday racing I once again stuck to the west bank and as there were a lack of waders, 1 Common Sandpiper and 2 Redshank, I concentrated on the beck and bracken area in search of Whinchat but that never materialized either. Usually by this time of year I have Whinchat and Stonechat along the fence line but the best I could do was a distant Short Eared Owl disappearing towards Castle Carr.
Just 3 LBB gull on he water along with the mass of geese but none of the half expected Common Scoter present after a report from MC who had a good count yesterday at Fewston reservoir.
Plenty Swifts over along with 3 Raven but otherwise it really did feel like the longest day today.
Another hot one tomorrow starting at 15 degrees on a very light SE. Chance of rain p.m.
