Hit & miss 3 year ticks in Yorkshire

It takes us over 4 hours before we pull up just along the road past the car park of the Crown & Anchor pub in Kilnsea East Yorkshire.
We join a small group of birders who inform us that a Pallas's Warbler was showing very well.

Jimmy & I missed out a few weeks ago when Brian was the only one to see the Pallas's at Thornham Point Titchwell,this time all 3 of us get some cracking views of one, it's a good year tick & a good start to the day.
News comes that a Lapland Bunting has been seen along the foreshore. we set off to find it & do just that when we hear & then get good flight views of the Bunting as it mingles with a flock of Yellow Hammers & Reed Buntings & a Twite.
Next we head on to Spurn to look for the Bluethroat that has been about for a week or so.
We are told it has not been seen today but give it a try anyway.
It was not a long walk just past the sea watch hide,we spend an hour looking but it's not to be today but we do get to see a single Snow Bunting that shows just a few feet away.
On the walk back to the car a Woodcock flies up for a nice view.
Jimmy informs us that a Hume's leaf Warbler has been seen 5 minutes away.
A small crowd was present on arrival at Peter's Lane Easington & we have a real bonus year tick as the Hume's puts on a grand display for us. While here a Merlin hunts right over our heads for another good showing.
