The big surprise this morning
was an adult Rose-coloured Starling seen
briefly on some garden feeders in
Londesborough Road at 09.20, incidentally the same garden hosted this same
species last year. Perhaps a little more than just coincidence maybe this
garden has some particular attraction for Rose-coloured Starlings, i.e. the
feeders!!! A drake Teal was on Johnson’s Marsh; a Hobby was seen cruising
around Scalby Beck before heading out over North Bay and a Great Skua flew
north off Long Nab this evening. A Nightjar was heard churring around Wykeham
Forest and was audible from Wrench Green.
A report of a male Red-backed Shrike on Facebook seen
between Cloughton Wyke and Heyburn Wyke this afternoon, it was apparently feeding
from a pile of brush cuttings by a dry stone wall and was rumoured to have been
photographed. So far no further information has been received.
