Spurn
It was a hard slog smashing around the Spurn area but despite the lack of anything rare, it was wholly enjoyable.
On Saturday the sun came out and a long tiring walk down to the point yielded two spanking Common Redstart, a single Whinchat, two Stonechat, and a Willow Warbler. It was scant reward for the 27,500 steps recorded on my FitBit.
A real feature of the day was the visible migration, large numbers of Linnet, Goldfinch, and Tree Sparrow pouring through the Spurn area heading down along the point.
The majority of the Yellow-browed Warbler present during the week had pretty much cleared out, but one vocal individual was present in the Crown and Anchor car park along with a female Pied Flycatcher.
That was pretty much it for highlights, hardly an Octoberfest here, but a relaxing day anyway.
