Another day of scraping the barrel migrant-wise was only saved by a showy male
Serin in the Obs/hut fields area. Twenty
Wheatears and singles of
Yellow Wagtail,
Tree Pipit and
Pied Flycatcher were the pick of the few common migrants at the Bill, with 21 B
ar-tailed Godwits and 3
Whimbrel on offer at Ferrybridge. The sea was also quiet with 4
Arctic Skuas, 3
Red-throated Divers and singles of
Pomarine Skua and
Great Skua through off the Bill; a different
Pomarine Skua and 2
Black-
throated Diver were additions from Chesil.
Continuing our yellow theme, the male Serin showed nicely at times © Martin Cade:
