Poor Judge of Pasta.
May 30th: part II
Wasted a chunk of time next looking for Rose-coloured Starling in Driffield. I’d seen the Llandudno bird at the beginning of the year, but the boys hadn’t, and I’d quite like to show them one in summer apparel, but alas not today. Kilnsea next on the off chance. Much of what had been reported in the Spurn to Easington area the past week or so had cleared out, leaving just a lost looking Fieldfare at Kilnsea Wetlands. It looked a bit ropey at first, sitting on the turf, but soon got up, had a stretch and went of to find some grub. Nothing else of note until a fine Yellow Wagtail dropped down in front of us. At any other time this, along with the Fieldfare, would have provided the oddest seasonal dissonance of the month, but up against Tuesday’s Turtle Dove / Great Grey Shrike combo today’s duo has to take second place. That was about it birdwise today, overnight at my brother’s in Beverley.
