Spurn! (1 Viewer)

Saw the weather systems headed our way and cant go out at weekend so made sure i was out today! Rocked up at 9ish to immediately get rubbish views of the Greenish Warbler plus Willow Warbler, Redstart & Goldcrest everywhere. Dipped the Yellow-browed Warbler that had been seen earlier. All of a sudden Little Bunting comes over the CB- ran from the Crown and Anchor car park to Beacon Lane but to no avail it had already flown. Pretty quickly after a Great Grey Shrike was seen in the triangle but oh no i get an important call from work- i get a brief flight view whilst talking to the boss. Whilst looking along the bushes I see the shrike take flight along the canal and down into the bushes the last I see of it. A poke around the crown and anchor car park after lunch reveals a further redstart. Soon after excellent views of the Greenish Warbler leave me a happy man. I went for a wander down by the point, saw a few Redwings, Reed Bunting and Stonechats including a male with a whacking great neck-collar which seemed 'eastern' but i couldn't see the rump. Nevermind. Dipped a Yellow-browed Warbler again when i got back to the crown and anchor but all good really.
