Fly Flats etc.

A nice find by BS this morning at Fly Flats with 2 Sanderling arrived overnight. Appalling conditions on and off up there today but I got a break from the rain late morning and managed to find them in the scope (impossible without). Great little birds probably just returning from the Arctic.
2 Barnacle Geese out on the mud.
2 Kestrels both still hunting in the pouring rain as I left.

Mixenden Reservoir - always worth a check in bad weather. Not  a lot...
1 Tufted Duck and just a few hirundines including 6 Sand Martins

Ogden
2 adult Great Crested Grebe
2 Cormorant
1 Sparrowhawk
1 adult Common Gull
15+ Lesser Black-backed Gulls, with others passing through as were a few Black-headed Gulls
