Wasted a morning looking for drift migrant passerines between Chapel and Anderby. However, an hour seawatching from the Anderby Hide was reasonable: Pom Skua - a pale phase adult with spoons flew south followed closely by a juv. Arctic Skua - 17 south Fulmar - 1 south Steady passage of Gannets, Sandwich and Comic Terns south Also a few small flocks of Common Scoter Nice to get back home to garden where singing Willow Wbl and several cheeping Chiffchaffs plus 4 Blackcaps!! |

Enjoying the environmental & sea air is always a pleasure, never a waste of time Edmund. ;o) |

Derick how right you are. I was really using 'bird speak' for not finding a rarity. I always enjoy the coast. There was a Wheatear at Wolla Bank car park James. Where were the Bearded Tits? However, with a belt of rain moving across into this Easterly tomorrow afternoon things may just be different tomorrow evening and Saturday morning until the gales arrive. |

Know how you felt Edmund after two days of walking & pishing around Saltfleet. Any idea what's bird speak for failure? |

That's the Wheatear I saw. Bearded Tits were near the car park too (as was the Pied Flycatcher) James |
