- I figured it would be a tad lively first thing!
- It would obviously save a trip and money, if it had moved on.
- A later attempt would hopefully mean more room at the site?
- If present, it would be there all day... probably.

Lately
A whirlwind week!
Birds only being a part of it...as it should be. My son Robert was over from Dubai for a much anticipated and welcome visit with his new Girlfriend Mariane. On Friday I had the day out with them and we ended up at Bempton after a wonderful Fish and Chip lunch at my namesake establishment at Hornsea! Highly recommended.
We'd had a drive over the Humber Bridge earlier in bright sunshine but as we climbed out of Bridlington I could see the dreaded "sea fret" approaching.Anyway we carried on and parked up in the main car park. They wrapped up and we headed for the Cliffs...and Fog! Fortunately we could see the Cliffs which was a big relief as I wanted Mariane to see them!
We enjoyed a worthwhile couple of hours and saw many Gannets...if little else which wasn't surprising considering the time of Year.

Up with the Migrants?
The forecast of East in the wind plus an overnight thunderstorm had me up and out at dawn. Quite a surprise eh... especially for Bud!
In theory, it was promising. In reality it was underwhelming. Never expect... and all that.
After an hour of nothingness I bumped into Richard who had produced the same outcome. After a team talk he headed North and immediately found a Wheatear and a Whinchat, the latter tempted me through the stubble for a VERY distant view. Richard had it closer initially.
After returning home I had another effort to the South. I parked up and scanned a small area by the Cliff for some 30 minutes. Again nowt.
We were heading into Hull at 9.30. As I was leaving a small bird materialized in the top of the Sycamore. My camera had decided to change settings but I did manage a record shot before it disappeared...

I was really chuffed with this sighting. Patience paid off...this time!
After our Hull visit which included lunch at the Pub we returned mid-afternoon. As we approached the Village on Snakey I spotted a lone Bird perched on top of the hedge...
