I missed out on the snow bunting too. Never seen one, nor a lapland. Off work the week after next and wondering about a trip to Filey-I guess they'll still be around? Any information gratefully received!

Video from Isabelline Wheatear twitch at Spurn on Saturday, made me and a mate laugh at the time so thought I'd make a video of it Benny Hill style!

Couple of hours at Barmston failed to turn up any Blyth's Pipits but did produce plenty of Brents moving up and down the coastline plus some at sea Gadwall. Some Common Scoter and a few dabbling ducks were the best of the rest with a complete lack of poms or little auks.

Been a decent couple of days at Filey: 4-5 Short-eared and 2-3 Long-eared Owls, several Sparrowhawks moving through, 15 or so Snow Bunts and a couple of Laps at least, a Water Rail in Top Scrub, single Wheatear, a couple of Redpolls, the odd Reed and Yellow bunt also, light sprinkling of Goldcrests and Long-tailed Tits, Blackcap, couple of Chiffs, lots of thrushes: several hundred Blackbirds, Redwing and Fieldfares and fewer Song Thrushes and of course the Glossy Ibis is still at the Dams. Decent increase in thrushes again today and a sizeable increase in Robins although given the conditions you might have expected a bit more. Single Whooper also. Couple of Weasels causing a scene in Top Scrub was good fun.
The Bay Corner was good today towards high tide with a good mix of waders including: Redshank, Knot, Turnstone, Oystercatcher, Dunlin and 16+ very approachable Purps that stole the show.
