Spent a good 12 and a half hrs seawatching today at Flamborough,and had one of the best watches i have had in Yorkshire,and not really in perfect conditions,the following birds where the best of the bunch: 1 Adult Sabines Gull,north with Kittiwakes 152 Sooty Shearwater north. 3 Pom Skuas,including a cracking adult with full tail spoons. 1 Great Shearwater,north,at about mid-distance,what a stonker!! 54 Manx Shearwater north. 1036 Pink-footed Geese south. 1 White-morph Snow Goose,south with a flock of 87 Pinkies,which is now residing at Holkham in Norfolk,according to the pager service,a truly un-expected bonus to a cracking day. Other species seen where smaller numbers of Little Gulls,Arctic Skuas,Bonxies,2nd wint Med. Gull etc.
