Post subject:  Spurn Area.

A visit to this rarity hotspot didn't disappoint again today with the highlights being the following:


1 Hobby en-route to Spurn,which gave stunning views as it flew beside us along the road,keeping up with and passing the car at 40mph!!
1 Thrush Nightingale(Between Kew Villa and Kilnsea churchyard),singing occasionally.
1 singing male Icterine Warbler at Sammy's Point.
1 Wood Warbler at Sammy's Point.
1 male 'Rubicola' Stonechat(A real cracker) at Sammy's Point.
male Pied Flycatcher,Hobby,female Hen Harrier,Whinchat and Marsh Harrier.

An unexpected bonus for us was the trapping of a PURPLE CLOUD moth,an extremely rare species from the continent and the first record for Yorkshire. :shock: .

An excellant day out in the home county.


Regards


Steve,with Dave W.
