Spurn

Quick dash to Spurn on my free Wednesday afternoon produced good views of  Dunlin feeding close to shore, Firecrest, Jack Snipe, many Goldcrests and the American Golden Plover

Citrine Wagtail

A good day at Spurn produced Citrine Wagtail, several Yellow-browed Warblers and an Arctic Warbler. Also seen were  a Little Bunting trapped in a mist net and subsequently released and Jack Snipe

Little Auks and more!

On the way to Flamborough Head we saw several small parties of Grey Partridges in the fields. At Flamborough Head we were straight onto Little Auks streaming past mostly heading North in small groups. There were good numbers seen in the couple of hours of seawatching myself and Dave did and the total for the day was recorded at 308. We also saw several Red-Throated Divers close in just off the rocks and 2 Velvet Scoters and a single Sooty Shearwater.
We then went to Easington in hope of a little bunting seen earlier. No luck but there was a group of Black Redstarts by the church one stunning male and three females. We also connected to a fabulous Great Grey Shrike by the cemetery.
Finally on the way home we went to North Cave Wetlands and had good views of the bizarre bobbing Jack Snipe along with a Common Snipe for comparison. We also saw a female Marsh Harrier.
