Olive-backed Pipit

It was decided a visit to Spurn Point was in order to catch up with a number of scarce migrants as well as being in position just in case the reported Black-browed Albatross from the North Norfolk coast the day before decided to move north.  Spurn never fails to deliver with good numbers of common migrants such as Chiffchaff, Goldcrest and Robins with a number of scarce migrants mixed in such as Pallas's & Yellow-browed Warblers, Red-breasted Flycatchers and Olive-backed Pipit.

The Olive-backed Pipit at Easington Gas Terminal performed well showing down to a few feet, in fact too close at times to focus the scope on.  Digiscoping proved difficult though as the bird was very active, the light challenging and the bird was on the other side of a wired fence but a night sorting through 2000 photos produced one or two nice images.
