The 2 Black Redstarts are still hanging around at Langsett Moor if anyone is still contemplating a trip to see them.
Hi
Both you and the Black Redstarts are mentioned in todays Yorkshire Post|:d|
Is that something I can find online ?
Looking windy at Spurn tomorrow but enjoy it. Popped over today with Graham, not an awful lot about and the wind too high to keep anything in view for long.
Comedy classic: Long Tailed Skua was reported over the radio.
Andy: There's some people wanting to know the best place to view the LTS
Answer: Lincolnshire
Other birds of note were a Jack Snipe that didn't move for hours, Lapland bunting that flew past us and then disappeared and a Yellow Browed Warbler that was trapped at Kew, shown to the assembled crowd and then disappeared.
Oh no, it bobbed, it preened but stayed in the same place for ages.

OMG! Some fantastic Black Tern & Manx Shearwater pics there - have you been on Marcus' course?
Our local club (Nidderdale Birdwatchers ) had a trip up there a couple of weeks ago and had a great day out,always plenty to see both on the reserve and in the surrounding area some great cakes in the reserve cafe for soft old beggars like me who need a top up at the end of the day.A fun day out with the RSPB members group on Saturday north of the border to Teesmouth. Windy day but it stayed dry. Low tide at Greatham Creek produced a very smart looking Greenshank and a few Blackwits. The attached pic does actually show some basking seals just below the power station on Seal Sands (honest).
After lunch it was of to the reserve at Saltholme. Added Curlew Sand, Little Stint and Ruff to my year list. Perhaps the most spectacular sight was large flocks of Goldfinch looking very pretty in the late afternoon sunlight and being able to year tick the transporter bridge.
Finally a quick stop off just south of the reserve at a roadside lagoon produced several Spotshanks, Black-necked Grebe and a couple of Little Egrets bringing the day total to 5.
