The entrance to Wheldrake Ings used to be excellent for them including first couple of hundred yards over the bridge. -

I did last year and paid in cash as I had the same issue. Just went to Kew and knocked on the door. -

Thats the Barmston Kumlien's looking much more bleached than earlier in the winter. Presumably still roosting on the Mere on occasion. -

Grey Partridge are common as muck around Driffield through to the coast but very few Red-legs (never seen Red-legged in the village or on patch at Barmston/Ulrome but Greys are a daily sight). -

Very nice Paul. Hoping for one down at Barmston... -

My thoughts exactly...could be one of the flamborians nipping to the supermarket! -
Yorkshire Birding
That's the Kumlien's Paul but your shots are harshly lit masking the pigmentation in the primaries and the Venetian blind effect -
Yorkshire Birding
Had a look. Very nice. Long-tailed duck, walking distance away. Mental! -
Yorkshire Birding
Pretty normal I think. A few frosts and that'll be that sadly. -

Unlikely to be Red-veined Darter - they are pretty scarce in Yorks. Common Darter most likely at this time although Ruddy Darter also a possibility. They all look pretty similar. -

It will be great to catch up with you on the coast Paul. Drop me a line when you get over. -

M62 in east yorks is awesome. Nobody in their right mind chooses to go to hull ;) -

What's the obsession with British. Most of the species are the same? -
Yorkshire Birding
Lol, no. Migration goes pretty much until the first week of November but depends on the winds. The birds at Spurn, as pointed out before, are usually from Scandinavia and drifted across the North Sea although British birds go through in a more diffuse pattern. Just wait for some easterlies... -
Yorkshire Birding
You say about seeing British birds but spurn is a migration point. Birds are from all over if the winds are right and if they are wrong then there are few birds. Likewise people - it's so good that lots of birders go if there are birds likely to be present. Don't go if there is westerly in the... -

It's quite pale now... Got my first pics with the new camera today. Will have a look later but they were at 100x so probably not flash ;) -

Kumlien's & Mediterranean Gulls at Barmston today plus 5 Scandinavian Rock Pipits -

Saw the Kumlien's Gull again today - looks on its last legs tbh. Virtually no feathers on its head from the eyes forward and oil stains on its neck. Looked a bit brighter later on but serious decline since I last saw it. Also a single Pink-foot in the fog and plenty of small waders.
