| Redshank (2), Knot, Grey Plover and Lapwing (2) |
No big deal on the Humber BUT a rare gathering here, making them far more special. Almost as rare as the scrape!!!

I started along Rysome Road on an overcast morning in my continuing search for Waxwings. No joy but there were some pristine migrant male Blackbirds in evidence...
On the way back I checked for Little Owl...
I then drove slowly further down the road. I saw a shape deep in the bushes...

| Wow! |
Quite a surprise. Again, an excellent record in context. I'd never found one in bushes before! It was only seen for a few seconds thanks to my friend in the back!!
I then headed up towards Cliff Farm, checking yesterday's "Wader pool". Nothing there this morning except the usual Gulls. I had 30 minutes from the Clifftop which proved unremarkable. I checked the pool for Snipe without success but a chestnut bullet in the form of a Woodcock was adequate compensation.
A couple of runs along Snakey paid off as I picked up a decent covey of Grey Partridges (8) in the Winter wheat, making them much easier to see!
