Good luck stuck at home, can not get out until tomorrow hopefully it will stick around. Plus there's the probable LTS in Notts.

Poor old Lawts, could have saved himself a long drive there and got it on a Yorkshire list as well.

Anyway it's going to cut inland soon.

Hopefully to Swillington for a few days. ;)

Where's it gone then? 3.5 hours and no word.

My guess it's nipped inland just south of North York Moors and up the vale of Pickering.

Just heard that the whale that stranded on the Humber (23.9) may not have been a Fin, but a Sei. Apparently going to be featured on Look North tonight - probably just East Yorkd version.
Andy - do you know any more

common darters have yellow stripes down the legs ruddys dont

An article HERE from the Yorkshire Post, Experts say they are 95% sure it's a Sei

Odd - seems to have assymetrical markings on the jaw although it might be the angle of the photo. Be nice to see a pic of the rostrum (think thats the feature for Sei but cant remember)

Presumably the E Yorks report will appear on the iplayer for us landlubbers. But more importantly, where will the crane re-appear? Gripping stuff following the updates earlier. Sad, I know

Looks like I was 24 hours too early at Barmston. Will it feed up or crack straight on? I thought it might drop in on Cayton Carrs/Seamer Carrs but looks like it preferred Ravenscar.

Went to Pugney's today for the Pec Sand, it was showing ridiculously well down to about 6/7 foot! got some crippling views and pics of it, Just hope the Sandhill stays put tomorrow or drops in on the head :t:

If you were to send your sightings in to the Yorkshire Dragonfly website, Paul Ashton may give you a definitive ID on your pic - wouldn't like to call it from that angle!

Yes but I wouldn't have added it to my Scottish list! Had a life -v- Yorkshire dilemma today - head to the Gare for the Crane, or Notts. for the stint?

As always the life list came first. The Long-toed thread currently waiting for my terrible distant shots. Likely Little Stint with paler legs. Ah well, probably wouldn't have got the Crane.

Did any of the top listers connect with it?

I went back for seconds of the Pec. - showing a bit better than the stint.

Ah! at least you have it on your Scottish list, a certain resident of the North of Scotland is in Poland! :-O

Stuck a small selection of Pec Sand shots on Flickr, here's its Bo Derek moment.

Hi James,
It's a female Common Darter. As mentioned by Phil the yellow stripes on the legs separate it from Ruddy. A surprisingly obvious feature on perched insects.

Cheers Garry - once the stripes were mentioned it became a lot clearer.

Finally managed to get there myself on public transport. Unbelievably obliging bird, well worth it.

Anyone know who had the Crane sp over Ponty earlier?

G

Anybody know if that Pec sandpiper is still at Pugney's tonight/Tomorrow morning, or is it something else I have missed by a day this year

So would I hope it didn't fly over the garden whilst I've been at Filey most of the day.

Common Crane still at Nosterfield today (2.15pm) amongst Greylags on Flasks Lake (Nosterfield Quarry).

Anyone got an idea what's offshore at the moment, Sunday looking bright and calm so could be a fantastic day for photography from the boat - if there's anything out there. Otherwise it's a lot of brass for a few gulls.

No reports today but there have only been a couple the last couple of days. It could easily still be around.

Joe Pell?

No pics unfortunately. He was being mobbed by Pallid Harriers
