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.

Migrants on the move, Fly Flatts.

 

                                  8 Golden Plover out on the islands





                            A special for Fly Flatts, Whitethroat

                                    Up to 8 Stonechat


A bright clear morning with all signs of overnight fog cleared. Full sun on a light E>3 at 12 degrees.
    A good passage migrant morning with the star bird being a single Whitethroat around the compound bushes, along with 8 Stonechat, 2 Wheatear, 3 Willow Warblers and a good count of Mipits, Goldfinch and Linnets whilst Swallows headed >S overhead.
    A group of 8 Golden Plover were out on the islands with 7 juveniles and 1 adult but no other waders present. The water held the last 7 Canada geese as well as a single female Tufted and Mallard whilst the gull count was very low with just 18 LBB and 6 Black Headed. Other than the Swallows nothing was moving overhead.
    Another risk of early morning hill fog tomorrow courtesy of a light to moderate ENE then cloudy sunshine at 12 degrees peaking at 19 degrees.
