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.

Fly Flatts.

        SE shore looking west.                                                                                         
                                    More than enough exposed shore
 
                                    South shore. Bring on the waders.

                                    Water is usually up to the grass.

A near full cloud morning until 0930 hours when the cloud started to break up letting some sunshine through. A very cold morning at 11 degrees on a light SSW>3.
   A wader in at last with a Ringed Plover but keeping at scope-able distance, way over on the NE peninsular but no sign of the previous 2 Common Sandpipers.
  The far north shore held over 40 LBB gulls as well as several Black Headed whilst a Kestrel was overhead along with several Swallows and Swifts.
   Small passerines consisted of  the usual Pied Wagtail juvs plus lots of Mipits and a single autumn plumaged Wheatear. A steady mornings watch with not a photo taken other than the above phone photos to try to keep the interest flowing.
    Tomorrows forecast is not what I would order with mostly full sun on a very light southerly kicking off at 12 degrees and peaking at 22 degrees.
