Couple of new birds appeared in the garden this weekend and particularly good news was the first house sparrow - so hopefully the sparrow terrace may get occupied next spring. The other newcomer was Mistle thrush with at least 3 visiting the garden all weekend. Overhead there were just 3 swallows flying around the house. I guess they may all be gone by next week unless it warms up a bit and the insects stay out.
Took a trip to Spurn Point on Monday and it was quite brilliant. Weather was great and birds even better. Chalked Great Grey Shrike, Yellow Browed Warbler, great views of merlin and a good selection of migrants including 5 winchat - FAB well worth the very early start and long walk along the spit.
