Pied Wheatear + other scarce migrants at Spurn Point

We decided on another day on the coast, at Spurn Point even though it had been fairly quiet over the last few days.  At this time of year you just never know what can turn up and today proved to be one of those special Spurn days starting with nice views of a couple of Yellow-browed Warblers at Sammy's Point.  We then moved down to the Kilnsea area and got wind of an Olive-backed Pipit at Chalk Bank which is down near the point but the tide was up so we couldn't cross over the breach area for a little while.  Once the tide dropped a little we were able to cross and make our way down to Chalk Bank where the pipit performed reasonably well and then news came through of an odd looking wheatear back up near the breach.  We quickly located the wheatear on the rocks which turned out to be a cracking male Pied Wheatear and while watching this it came over the radio that there was a Citrine Wagtail a few metres to the south which also showed well.  At one point both the Wheatear and the Wagtail were together in the same scope view but missed that photo opportunity.  All in all a superb day.

Pied Wheatear and Glossy Ibis, Notts, 2013

Quite a while since my last post (still plagued with Sciatica!) but three first this weekend, firstly a new bird for my Scunthorpe list, a beautiful Marsh Tit frequenting the garden feeders in Alkborough around the Maze and then two new birds for my British list, Pied Wheatear and Glossy Ibis both just over the county border in Notts.  Have to say not sure why it's a Pied and not a Black-Eared!

And the Glossy Ibis
