A very underwhelming selection on offer today, even if the blistering heat of the morning was a significant disincentive to actually getting out and about looking. Nothing by way of grounded passerines materialised and overhead passage consisted of just a few departing
Swallows and, rather oddly, a
Kestrel watched arriving from far out to the south. The Ferrybridge wader selection dropped away to just 6
Dunlin and a
Sanderling, with seasonal peak to date of 310
Mediterranean Gulls of additional note there. A
Balearic Shearwater and at least 2
Yellow-legged Gull lingered amongst the gull flock off the Bill and a few
Common Scoter heading west were additional to the summering flock still in residence offshore.
