On an increasing warm day the land's contribution was a good miscellany rather than any numbers, with 2
Green Sandpipers and singles of
Great Spotted Woodpecker,
Grey Wagtail,
Yellow Wagtail and
Siskin at the Bill and 4
Sanderling and a
Knot at Ferrybridge. Sea interest was much as in recent days, with 49
Common Scoter, 4
Yellow-legged Gulls, 3
Balearic Shearwaters, 3
Arctic Skuas and a
Great Skua the best of the bunch off the Bill.
We're not sure that the recent dearth of waders at Ferrybridge is necessarily a bad thing - might it just be that there have been fewer failures on the breeding grounds? - but a Knot and a few Sanderling provided some welcome interest there today © Martin Cade:
