None in Holmes Gut today, but present in Old Fall and South Landing at least.

It's only Rock and Roller but I like it
The bird in the background looks more godwit-like to me.

Get onto Facebook Jim, look for the Yorkshire Birders 2011 page and ask to join.
Andy Hood from Flamborough posts regularly in there. There's a nice shot of a Pallas's warbler that he took yesterday.

The bird squat is def. a Snipe and using size comparison then the bird at the back has to be a Godwit espec. with that beak......
Squinting at the picture through almost closed eyes sharpens it up a bit and I'd go along with godwit, wouldn't want to call which though.

Yellow-browed Warblers at Flamborough totalled at least 4 including birds at Old Fall (1) and South Landing (2) per birdguides
Many thanks for the help Keith also joespy and upton-till-i-die (phil) still new to this game its my first year so need all the help i can get. B
Try and get along to one of the wader walks they do from time to time at Blacktoft. They can be very rewarding.
I'd also heartily recommend Paul Doherty's DVD Waders, 2 discs and a shedload of waders shown. It's worth watching these with the colour balance knocked back to black and white as this really focuses on the jizz of the birds.

Go to Bridlington, take the Flamborough road B1255 and take a right turn onto Lighthouse road just before you get to Flamborough village, by the church. At the first crossroads, take a right for South Landing, or straight on for the lighthouse. Old Fall is a copse roughly a hundred yards or so away from the road just before you reach the lighthouse car park. Park up by the liughthouse and walk back the way you came on the LH side of the road, you'll reach a footpath going south, follow this and you'll find Old Fall.

Thanks to Keith i managed to find old fall, met a fellow birder who told me where the yellow browed warbler was sighted, went down and bumped into two guys who had just finished ringing,told me exactly where to stand and bingo two minutes later it was right in front of me, fantastic little bird sadly no decent pic as it stayed for less than a minute very flighty.Started on Filey Brigg it was blowing a hoolie!!! god knows how i got the semi stable shots below.
