| Post subject: | Scarborough |
I am going to scarborough for a couple of days next week and although not going for birdwatching just a short break away. I would like to see some fairly good birds. I am trying to twist my partners arm into dropping in on Flamborough on the way home aslon as some eastery winds finnally come! But I was wondering what other good sites are a bit closer to scarborough if not in scarborough? I would love to see both Med gull and Purple sandpiper I have seen that they are there but I am there at the right time of year? Any help on this subject would be muchly appreciated Anthony |

Hi Anthony, i was there in April , check the concrete blocks by the sea wall for purple sandpipers, the harbour for gull species and the turnstones which are very approachable. Colin. |

Also worth checking out Holbeck car park for Med Gulls, seven adults reported on rocks below Holbeck on Birdguides on 18/10/11. The rocky beach below the car park also has Purple Sandpiper. |

Scarborough produced no stand out birds just the tame turnstone and lots of big gulls. An hour at flamborough head yesterday did provide me with 2 lifers in 1 Red-throated diver south and a Purple sandpiper  Lifers only coming in pairs recently Also had a Woodcock, Eider and a Herring gull killing and then eating a very tired Great crested grebe. Not many land migrants visable apart from the Woodcock, but Snow buntings, Twite and Firecrest were supposed to be around the area.
