Cold Edge to Fly Flatts

Took advantage of an offer from DP this am to visit Cold Edge and FF. It was good walking weather in the bracing wind even if the bird life was somewhat inert.
CE: Pr Stonechat, few BHG Meadow Pipits Greylags Canadas & Swallows.
c50 Goldfinch at Nolstar, Meadow Pipits.
FF: Red Grouse on the embankment showing it's trousers. Kestrel, 3 Wheatear, Meadow Pipits, c20 House Martin >, 6 Red-legged Partridge, N, couple Swallows, Pied Wagtail.
For the first time in all my visits nothing at all on the water.
A quick check on Raggalds Flood produced just one each BHG, Crow.
