Migration's progressed in some odd ways so far this autumn with today seeing that pattern continue, particularly when 1380
Kittiwakes shot through off the Bill in just 90 minutes at dawn; other movers on the sea there included 275
Manx Shearwaters, 18
Common Scoter, 16
Balearic Shearwaters, 4
Arctic Skuas and 3
Yellow-legged Gulls. Passerine passage - at least what we're seeing of it on the ground - still hasn't got any really sustained momentum to it but today was a tad more rewarding than many days just lately, with 70
Willow Warblers grounded at the Bill, where 50
Yellow Wagtails and 35
Tree Pipits were among the over-flyers. Variety around and about included singles of
Wood Sandpiper and
Firecrest at the Bill, singles of
Spotted and
Pied Flycatcher at Sweethill, 8
Spotted and a
Pied Flycatcher at Coombefield and a
Hobby over Ferrybridge. Ferrybridge was also still busy with waders including 180
Ringed Plovers, 16
Turnstones and 2
Knot.
