After a lovely family day in Bury yesterday...



My grandchildren Daniel and Rebecca with Mum (Rachel)

...it was time to get out in the field again.

Phil had stayed overnight at Spurn and came over for a coffee around 10.30. After a chat we made our way down to the cliff. Richard was there, walking towards us along the path. He'd had a few bits including a group of Red-breasted Mergansers. After a few words he continued along the cliff top. Soon after he was beckoning us towards the bushes. He'd found a YBW (H.116)! We all enjoyed clear yet typically brief views.

The rest of the day was pretty tame...

Some intrepid troops made the journey out to Lundy today to try for the GREEN WARBLER. A fine effort indeed that unfortunately proved fruitless. There'll be another...as the saying goes...
