On Saturday, Jayne and I went over to Spurn Point NNR to visit our nephew, who is volunteering there. Whilst there, we had an eight and a half mile walk from the Bird Observatory to The Point, and back, and managed to add 4 new species to the Year List.
The first new species was Whimbrel (200), that we saw feeding around the estuary and beach area.

The next two species: Snow Bunting (201) and Black Redstart (202) were added on the walk down to The Point.

The final new species was a single Yellow-browed Warbler (203) that was feeding in willows around Sykes Field.
Other species seen were: Knot, Redshank, Dunlin, Curlew, Oystercatcher, Brent Goose, Whooper Swan, Chiffchaff, Meadow Pipit, Stonechat, Skylark, Swallow, Buzzard and a female Bullfinch, that we tried, unsuccessfully, to turn into a "Northern" Bullfinch!
