A couple of Swift flew over, a Kestrel too and the usual gulls, LBBG, BHG & 1 Herring were loafing around.
Then it was downhill all the way as we went uphill to Fly Flatts. We all remarked how devoid of birds it was; a good yardstick being not even a single Magpie or Crow were seen in about 1-1/2 hours! Of course there were the usual Canadas on the water and 3 LBBG. 7 Red Grouse were seen throughout the walk, all of them remaining silent.
However a prior visit by DP at 0630 proved most satisfactory a SEO was photographed.

Returning back to the car park via Ogden got us a pr Oystercatcher thanks to DM's efficient eyeballs. Also a Chiffchaff giving forth a few notes but not much else.
