The
highlight of the day was the discovery of a Great White Egret seen flying NE
over Flixton Carr at 14.40 by Chris McNaghten.
The
Tundra Bean Geese remained on Seamer Carr but there were now 2 White-fronted
Geese, Pink-footed Goose and 2 Greylag Geese with them also in this area were a
Little Egret, a Water Rail, a Little Grebe, a Green Sandpiper and 250 Lapwing.
On the edge of neighbouring Willerby Carr by A64 opposite the entrance to Merry
Lees Park there was a flock of 800+ Lapwings.
The
harbour was still hosting the Black-necked Grebe and just outside were a Great
Northern Diver, a Red-throated Diver, a Razorbill, 14 Purple Sandpipers and 100+
Turnstones, just around the corner along Royal Albert Drive the 2 Black
Redstarts and the male Stonechat were all still present on the sea defences opposite
the Albert Café and in South Bay between The Spa and Holbeck the sea duck
present today were 2 Long-tailed Ducks and 5 Common Scoter.
Near
to Seamer Tip pool the Barnacle Goose was still present with 19 White-fronted
Geese associating with the Greylags and Canadas.
Finally
at least one Mediterranean Gull was seen this morning at Holbeck, 2 Pink-footed
Geese were seen at Rudda Road Flash and in Cornelian Bay there were 6
Red-throated Divers, 16 Teal, 8 Grey Plover, 23 Curlew, 65 Redshank, 20
Oystercatchers, 12 Turnstone and 2 Purple Sandpipers.
All of today's photos were taken by Chris Bell and so my thanks goes out to him for his many contributions to this site.
