Fly Flatts End of year visit

                         More Herring gulls moving through.


Fly Flatts 0815-0945 hrs  Moderate SW>5, 30% cloud cover, hazy sunshine giving poor light.

Nothing special at Fly this morning to see the year out but once again a good move of Herring gulls >SW with a count of 36, most of these being 1st winter birds.
A Raven flew over the west moor at distance along with a Peregrine and Kestrel whilst a Cormorant headed >NE very high. The only passerines were a Reed Bunting and a male Stonechat but nothing showing interest in the seeded areas as yet. Red Grouse were very vocal on the moor, probably having an end of the shooting season party.
                                                                     Only a tea time session left now to go out of 2017 with a mega.
