A fairly quiet week for new arrivals although Spurn kicked off well with a couple of sightings of Cory's Shearwater as well as no fewer than three 'Montys' on the Saturday. The main focus of attention over the weekend was the drake Surf Scoter at Filey which was added to more than a few Yorkshire lists. Many observers then moved on to Wykeham Forest where the 'HB's' showed erratically with the additional draw of Goshawk and the now rare Turtle Dove. After the weekend though, things took a nose-dive with even the Surf Scoter moving on and apart from a few decent birds inland (including a singing Spotted Crake) there was little of note. But, with a Bridled Tern on the Farne's we can only hope......................

Always a good inland bird, this Little Tern visited North Cave Wetlands mid-week - Rich Willison
