Although the sun was shining it was a cool day with blustery South Westerly winds.
A detour to one of my favourite Lincolnshire reserves whilst on our way to Spurn gave me number 200 on my life list after I restarted birding this year again after a 45 yr break.

Athough it was generally a dry day with no rain until late in the afternoon there was a very strong blustery wind which made conditions very difficult as most birds were sheltering and not showing to well, the wind started to abate towards evening.

A day of mixed weather generally windy with some rain showers and sunshine, with the SW wind decreasing towards mid afternoon.
With the migrant season well underway its back to coast.
Having made a numbering mistake with two 170 entries Im going to miss out 193 to save re-editing.

Weather today was cool in a Westerly wind with periods of sunshine and cloud.
Today was a red letter day for me as I saw a bird I had wanted to see for years and always never did, a fantastic bird.Altogether a total of eighteen were seen coming off the sea , my friends and I had a group of four whilst looking for another reported bird which we didn't see, a Great Grey Shrike.
