Cold Edge and Fly Flats
Out with NCD this afternoon but Cold Edge was disappointing in the strong NW wind. Curlew and Lapwing present nearby plus 2 Oystercatchers, 1 Snipe and 2 B H Gulls. No sign of the Little Grebe but it was there earlier (NK). 2 Wheatears and a few mipits around. Fly Flats was worth the visit with a male Ring Ouzel feeding out of the wind in the drainage channel leading down towards the boat-house and a Raven over heading N. No Twite at the feeding station but 3 (maybe 4) Wheatears there. We were unable to find any waders on the extensive mud edge as the NW wind was so strong. Plenty Canadas though! 1 Redpoll was calling from a pine tree near Dean Head.

Thought Id had a good day at Fly yesterday now you,ve put the dampers on it thinking Id missed a Ring Ouzel.
Well spotted anyway.
It was certainly windy higher up today. Fed the Twite at Lighthazzles and the seed ended up about a mile away from where I dropped it. No Twite present though.
