Wryneck: What a weekend and what a place, this was my second Spurn Migration Festival and this time I went with some of the north west lads, Patrick Damion, Iggo and Tony Broom, unfortunately Neil was unable to attend.
I arrived a little later then the others as I was working away that week carrying out autumn bird surveys in Norfolk.
Long-billed Dowitcher: Apart from the Wryneck and and full of migrant birds like redstarts and Pied Flycatchers there wasn't much else to be seen and we spend a few hours searching and hoping for something great to drop in.
Black Redstart: Well our preys were answered as a heavy but small shower passed over us which allowed a Long-billed Dowitcher to drop in.
This was what everyone was waiting for as as soon as news reach us we set off to see it, along with every other person at Spurn.
We had some excellent views before heading off in search of our own finds.
