I was working up north today, so dropped by to look at the snow buntings and shore larks on Cleethorpes beach. I parked at the 'Holiday Park' car park at OS NGR TA 33065 06039 and walked north along the beach. The c60 snow buntings were in fact in front of the 'Pleasure Island' car park at TA 32757 06851 and the two shore lark were near-by (note, the Buck Beck outlet is too deep to cross in walking boots, and the birds are on the northern side). Both sets of birds were mobile, so best to wait in a suitable area and the birds will hopefully come to you... I managed some hand held x60 zoom footage in the youtube link below...

As, present

Sanderling c10
Redshank c20
Carrion Crow
Herring Gull 12
Black-headed Gull c40
Cormorant 1
Meadow Pipit 2
Rock pipit 1
Skylark 2
Ringed plover 2
