Next down to Kilnsea Wetlands. Not much happening here so onto Beacon Ponds. A Grey Heron (S.80)was a nice surprise...
The Long-tailed Duck is still present and looking well. Unfortunately it was too distant for a pic. Plenty of Brents around...
News came over the radio that the Little Owl (S.81) at the back of Steve Exley's house was showing. Not wanting to intrude I tried to get a view from along the road but no joy. Then I spotted Steve putting his bin out and asked him if I could have a peep. I was soon looking at the Owl through Steve's 'scope...cheers pal! This was my first record of this species for Spurn!
On the way back to Holmpton I noticed quite a few Hares enjoying the evening sunshine...
I finished off with a quick run down Snakey Lane. No Barn Owls but lucked in with these three Corn Buntings in a distant bush, one was singing...
Forecast briefly promising for the next couple of days before the Easterlies return. Hopefully a rush of migrants for the weekend?

Looks like the Black Brant in the middle of the Brent shot?
Hi Tim,
Difficult to be sure off photo...with shadows? Possible though. Flank?
