Started a day out at Spurn,East Yorks. today with record shots of the Eastern Bonelli’s Warbler and finished with a Desert Wheatear. In between good views of Little Bunting, Olive-Backed Pipit, Pallas’s Warbler and Long -Eared Owl.
Nice addition to my Brandon Marsh, Warks. year list this morning with this 1st winter
Mediterranean Gull on east marsh.
What a bird. Nutcracker showing incredibly well at Mundesley, Norfolk this morning, and a bonus Desert Wheatear from 10 feet at Cley.
4 year tick day out with the presumed Isabelline Shrike at Kessingland, Rosy Starling at Happisburgh, Water Pipit at Cley & Baikal Teal in the dying light at Needingworh, Cambs. on the way home.
Some poor shots of two lifers in 3 days. American Pipit at Clifford Hill G.Pits, Northants today & Ross’s Goose at Heysham, Lancashire on Sunday.
Life ticked Sykes’s Warbler today at Girdle Ness, Aberdeenshire before catching the ferry to Shetland.
Lovely morning on the south coast today at Keyhaven Marshes,Hampshire for the best views I’ve ever had of Semipalmated Sandpiper & it’s Little Stint friend.
Set off for Cheshire early this morning hoping the Baird’s Sandpiper would still be at Burleydam Pool, Coxbank. It was. Then on to Wallasey for the steady stream of Leach’s Storm Petrel.
Two Buff-Breasted Sandpiper 3 miles from our digs this evening at Sennen, Cornwall were just too hard to resist.
Couple of nice migrants today at Pendeen,Cornwall with a year tick Wryneck & a confiding Northern Wheatear.
