Wild and wet at Fly Flatts.

 

                                   At least 3 Little Ringed Plovers




                                    Single Oystercatcher
                                    2 Common Sandpiper


                                    Several LBB gulls over >NE

                                    Swarms of Starlings.

Another of those wet and windy mornings with sunshine and showers on a moderate WSW>5 at 8 degrees. Hard work for the camera settings with one minute bright sunshine and the next minute as black as night and everything going into silhouette.
    Lively enough given the conditions with at least 3 Little Ringed Plover along with the usual Common Sandpipers, Redshank and Oystercatcher as well as Curlew and Lapwing.
   The sky was full of Swifts whilst several Lesser Black Backed gulls headed >NE and 4 Kestrel were up together along the west bank.
    Reed Bunting and Stonechat were busy feeding young and several juv Pied Wagtails were around the compound area. The top fields are alive with swarms of juv and adult Starlings.
     Just for a change tomorrow its going to be,....you guessed it, wet and windy, with sunshine and showers on a moderate SW at 8 degrees.
