Been lucky enough to have a couple of days off during the best time of year for birds.

Went to Spurn yesterday and saw plenty of common migrants including redstarts,spotted flycatchers,pied flycatchers,whinchats and wheatears.

Also there was a superb red breasted flycatcher at Crown and anchor plus red backed and great grey shrikes in the triangle.

Topped the day off with a trip to Flamborough to see the brown shrike.

This morning I went to see the pectoral sandpiper at Swine Moor, got there just before the fog came in and connected with one.

Then back to Spurn, a lot of birds have moved out but I still saw redstart,stonechat,spotted flycatcher,garden warbler and some delightful goldcrests.

Then back to Swine Moor for a record shot of the pec sandpiper and finished the day with the red footed falcon at Top Hill Low.

The day ended with a superb sunset which capped off a truly memorable couple of days.
