A quiet weekend in the County with the best birds at sea, somewhat surprisingly in view of the conditions. A Black Guillemot was seen from the Bridlington Bell saturday, though only by the chosen few! Filey scored well with Cory's Shearwater, Balearic Shearwater,  Long-tailed and Pom' Skua. Flamborough managed all the same bar Cory's. The Osprey continues to perform at Sprotbrough Flash. Time to let the Baillon's news out soon?

5 Roseate Tern (2 juvs) south past Spurn this evening.

Still fairly quiet in the County although a  Leach's Petrel past Grimston must have been quite a surprise to the observer. The Sprotbrough Osprey continues to perform and footage showing it clipping overhead power lines is proof that it is living dangerously.

Very quiet today - adult Long-tailed Skua south at Spurn.

No sign of Arctic Warbler, Flamborough.
Barred Warbler still at Spurn.
Osprey still at Sprorbrough Flash - photographers dream?

Flamborough hogs the limelight

Best bird in the County today is an Arctic Warbler at Old Fall Flamborough, still present this evening. Flamborough also scored with a Lesser Yellowlegs on the beach at South Landing but that flew off west early morning. Several coastal sites logged Long-tailed Skuas passing again today. A couple of Quail near Scarborough were noteworthy. Inland, the most popular bird is the Osprey which continues to show well at Sprotbrough Flash.
