With winds from the east and heavy rain predicted conditions were looking good for a few days of excellent birding - so we started Saturday local at the Humber Bridge with a rising tide, heavy rain and easterly wind we would surely have a fabulous list of sea birds coming up the river but sadly no only 17 Gannets in four hours! Not to be put off we decided to try the lincs coast in the afternoon so headed to Humberstone fitties - big mistake not a bird to be seen maybe an exaggeration but not far off . So having been totally fed up with Lincs we decided to go to Flamborough on Sunday as we certainly didn’t want to join the thousands at Spurn and a brilliant day was had - Red Flanked Bluetail, Red Breasted Flycatcher, Great Grey Shrike numerous Yellow-browned Warblers, Redstarts, Bramblings etc brilliant and best of all never more than ten birders at anytime! Whilst we were at Flamborough, Graham and Neil were at Donna Nook and had found two possibly three Raddes Warblers so on Monday we decided to give the Lincs coast one more chance but sadly another disappointing time with only a couple of Redstarts, a few Crests and Chiffchaffs - everything had cleared out😂 but we did have these three stunning creatures
Long-winged Conehead
Four spot Orb Weaver
