With overnight weather conditions looking good for migrants falling out of the sky we were up early and on our way to Spurn at dawn. But all was not well the wind had turned strong South which surely meant we would see nothing much however despite having difficulty standing upright and with the birds doing their best to keep their heads down we managed the following; 1 Yellow Browed Warbler, 1 Barred Warbler which bucked the trend and showed surprisingly well, 1 Wryneck, 1 Red Breasted Flycatcher, 5 Pied Flycatchers, 2 Spotted Flycatchers, 1 Brambling, 1 Long Eared Owl, 1 Tree Pipit, 15+ Redstarts and once again the stars of the autumn so far 5 juvenile Gannets once again forgetting that they are seabirds and flying through the Crown and Anchor car park.
