NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Wet and windy, Fly Flatts.

 

                                    4 Kestrels present


                                    5 Common Sandpipers


                                    Common Sandpipers in the lagoon.
                                    4 Little Ringed Plovers



                                    Swarms of Swifts.

A dry start to the morning with full cloud on a light WSW>2-3 at 10 degrees. By 0915 hrs the wind had picked up to WSW>5 gusting 6 with heavy rain.
     The feature of the morning were Swifts with uncountable swarms of them feeding low over the water along with a few Swallows. 
     A count this morning of 4 Little Ringed Plover, 5 Common Sandpiper and 3 Redshank, as well as 2 Oystercatchers but no new species arriving as yet.
   The pair of Stonechat and 2 pair of Pied Wagtails are still carrying food whilst 4 LBB gu11s were on the peninsular. Otherwise, the ever present, usual species.
   Looking grim for tomorrow with a mix of sunshine and heavy shower with hail and thunder throughout the day on a moderate to strong SW turning W at 11 degrees.
