Fly Flats this morning

Went to Fly Flats with Andy H this morning to see if the Greenshank was still about - it was. Also at least 7 Wheatear (all female), 2 Kestrel, a few Red Grouse and about 20 Mipits around the house opposite the old Withens pub.

Then we wandered around Roils Head but not much there apart from a few Willow Warblers and a pair of Bullfinch.

Returning Wheatears now in autumn plumage making male and female look alike.
No sign of Greenshank this evening.

Cheers Brian. We didn't consider that and just wondered if males left earlier than females.
