As the autumn soldiers on the annual transition from early to late migrants is taking place,
Meadow Pipits have begun to outnumber

phyllosc. The sea was slightly busier than the past few days with eight
Arctic and four
Great Skuas throughout the day. Ferrybridge was once again the place to be with singles of
Little Stint and
Barwit, four
Knot and 20
Sanderling.
