A very dark, full cloud morning at Fly Flatts on a cool E>3 at 8 degrees.
A very steady morning compared to the last few visits, probably due to the cool easterly wind with never does this site any favours.
A Common Sandpiper and an Oystercatcher were the only waders found, other than Lapwing and Curlew, though I didn't walk the west bank to check the NE corner. Not a Wheatear in sight this morning with just 2 male Reed Buntings plus plenty juv Meadow Pipits around the compound area.
A Short Eared Owl flew low over the water at the far north end but continued >W over Tatty Pie Hill whilst a few LBB gulls were slowly making their way >NE. The sky, once again was alive with Swifts and Swallows but otherwise a bit of a disappointing morning.
A drizzly damp morning tomorrow with hill fog on a light SE turning SW later in the day kicking off at 10 degrees.
