Had a ride down to Kilnsea today, despite the forcast the rain kept off and it wasn't too cold.
Went in Crown and Anchor car park to start, lots of crests,redwing and fieldfare overhead and literally hundreds of blackbirds dropping out of the sky.
Next went down beacon Lane and a few more crests, single brambling and plenty more thrushes.
On to beacon Ponds and a nice flock of about 20 snow buntings, a few common waders and some brent geese were the best of it.
Back to the crowm for a reported yellow browed warbler, but didn't connect however there was a superb long eared owl that flew into kew garden.
Onwards to Easington for the reported siberian stonechat, it didn't show at first but performed nicely after about half an hour of searching.
A little bit short of time today, so I couldn't get on to Spurn, all in all a decent day hopefully some more decent birds should come in this week.
