Fly Flatts 0700-1000hrs
An icy cold NW>5 which dropped by 0900hrs leaving warm sunshine.
Fly Flatts had the sound of silence with birds busy nesting on the moors and Curlews only rising up calling when disturbed by a passing predator.
Only 2 Common Sandpipers remained from my last count of 9 and a single f Wheatear was very mobile.
Raggalds Flood on the way back found 1 Redshank, 1 Oystercatcher and the usual Lapwing.
