Siskin
Brambling
Ring Ouzel
Short Eared Owl
Rock Pipit
Shore Lark
Red Breasted Flycatcher
Great Grey Shrike
Yellow Browed Warbler
Goldcrest
There were hundreds of Robins.With Redstarts, Ring Ouzel, Wheatears & Goldcrests in good numbers.
love life & live it
Wow
Just shows what you can do when you make the most of your day.
Lovely report of a great day.
Thanks mjay

Hi Mjay,
Wow - what a lot of new birds you saw, and brilliant you managed to ID them all. I wouldn't have had a clue. Great day out for you, and great pics. Brilliant.
Can you tell me where Spurn Head is?
Cheers, Linda.

Hi mjay
Fabulous report of your trip out. It just makes for an enjoyable bit of birding any time, and gives lots to talk about and to share with others here.
Love your Great Grey Shrike photo a whole lot.
Know what you mean about your bird list - it is always on the move and getting longer by the way and the year.
Thank you for bringing some of the yellow stuff to this thread- sun and more sun!
Look forward to many more reports from yourself in the near future.
Regards
Kathy and Dave

Spurn is on the Yorks east coast above Gibraltar point and lower than Flamborough head.

Oh what a good spot list you have there. I'm really bad at knowing where places are - so where is Spurn Head? As for some of your wonderful birds well I really think that I need to get out more!!

Very envious of the 'Reverend Blackbird' as my wee sis called it when she spotted 1 years ago but had no idea what she'd seen - I've yet to have the thrill - watch out ringed ouzels!!
Looking forward to seeign more of your great pics!!

Oh are you telepathic? Lol
hadn't even posted + the answer is there!! Not to far away so will have to venture south with the boys on Saturdays!!
Great trip report and what a good collection of birds you saw. Looks like a really good place to visit with the migration in full swing. Just wish it wasn't so far away from me.
That shore lark is a really smart bird. Never seen one of those.
Regards TJ
