Just a little more to report today with a small flurry of new arrivals on the ground once some early showers passed through. Numbers were far from impressive but after a few lean days were certainly welcome, with 30
Wheatears, 20
Willow Warblers, 6
Pied Flycatchers, 5
Tree Pipits, 3
Whimbrel, 2
Ringed Plover, 2
Spotted Flycatchers, a
Dunlin and a
Whinchat logged at the Bill. Waders continued to feature in some quantity at Ferrybridge, where 8
Sanderling and singles of
Knot and
Redshank were mingled in with the 150
Ringed Plover and 90
Dunlin; a single
Yellow-legged Gull was also new there. The sea was very much the poor relation, with a continuing south-bound trickle of
Lesser Black-backed Gulls about as good as it got at the Bill.
