Fly Flatts

Couldn't resist an opportunity to peruse FF today courtesy of DP despite the inclement attl weather.
The area was alive with Spring Fever avians calling and displaying throughout the session. Meadow Pipit were prevalent with a few Skylark here and there. We must have had at least 11 Snipe chipping away with 5/6 seen in flight.
Red Grouse were very active with a couple of pairs seen and singles flying about calling.
Curlew, Lapwing & Redshank were also doing the business and a distant Peregrine was seen perched and then in flight around Nolstar where again a small number of Curlew and Lapwing were encountered plus a Redshank.
