thanks Lawts, I'll maybe go and have another look. Did you go down to the river through the fields to the left of the dog centre or the right?

Yes I did. Not strictly ethical I know, but not doing any damage all the same.

Between Flamborough and Spurn today there are seven species which would be lifers for me. Tent and sleeping bag are in the car already. Roll on 5PM tomorrow.
There are very few reports away from the most watched places - a massive gap from Flamborough to Easington - obviously the places with reports are the biggest migrant traps, but there's got to be a great prospect of a self-found lifer somewhere along the coast between those points. And with it being weekday have even Danes Dyke and obvious places been scoured?
Not having much luck with campsites at the south end - Withernsea Sands Holiday Park is the only place that will take little one-man tents with birders in. May start at the top with a Seaways Farm camp site on lighthouse road in Flamborough. Anyone know it? Could get a Marsh Warbler in the dawn chorus!
Forecast is clear overnight Friday night - not having experience of falls like this in the past what are the chances of everything clearing off that night? I guess if these birds have been held up by the weather they'll be seriously itching to move on by then?
