A blog to document my encounters with wildlife from the wonderful and diverse county of East Yorkshire.

I went for a bit of a drive around east yorkshire today in the hope of connecting with some recently reported scarce birds.
First port of call was North cave Wetlands for the green winged teal.Once the bird was located it was relatively easy to photograph albeit it a bit distant.
On the way bak to the car I managed a couple of shots of a rather obliging siskin, then a quick look down dryden lane for a look at the resident lesser redpoll flock.
Then on to barmston for the glaucous gull.
It was about half a mile north of Barmston and quite mobile as it stayed with the other larger gulls.
It moved towards Fraisthorpe, so I headed back to the car and on to scarborough for the Iceland Gull.
Unfortunately after about an hour of looking there was no sign so I went to Holbeck for the Mediterranean Gulls.I forgot to take some bread so theye weren't very obliging.
hopefully the Iceland gull will hang around a little longer, it seems to favour the afternoons around the harbour.
Might have another trip next week.
