Thanks, not the news I wanted but never mind.

The habitat along the coastal path from Kettleness Point in the north, right through to Robin Hood's Bay in the South is fantastic habitat for migrants. Walk along the coastal path (the Cleveland Way?), or explore the network of paths across the inland fields and keep your eyes peeled for migrants.
I'd have thought most of the birds would have been off the moors by September, especially later in the month, but the area to the North of Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside is good if you want to try, although I suspect there is as good closer to Whitby.
Wykeham forest is worth a look at the raptor viewpoints for goshawk, crossbill etc
Let us know how you get on at Whitby

Wasn't expecting to see a Turnstone in that sequence. I'd hazard a guess, based on no knowledge whatsoever, that it's a good record. But there again I know little of their summer distribution
As it is South of the Tees and on the edge of the N.Y.Moors National Park does it not still qualify ?Lockwood is certainly in V.C.62Anyway, it's in Cleveland i.e. out of county
