Ignored by Birdguides for some reason, fall of 150 large wheatears at Spurn on 3/10 were almost all seen as Greenland/Icelandic on size alone. It is likely that these were your birds filtering through.

This is interesting given the almost total lack of other fall species apart from one or two (Greenland?) Lap Bunting, indicating their origins on these westerlry biased winds.
