I took 3 members of the RSPB York Local group to South Gare to see the brown booby. We had only just got out of the car when another car pulled up and the driver got out and told us that the bobby had been reported flying north. So what to do.
We went to Redcar to use the toilets and then walked down to the seafront. On this slipway were several turnstones a single bar tailed godwit, 4 sanderling and 3 redshank. Lots of eiders out at sea and a gannet and juvenile sandwich tern flying past.
We then went to RSPB Saltholme and walked down to the Saltholme Pools hide. On the causeway on the West Pools were several birds. Shoveler, gadwall, lapwing, golden plover, dunlin and a little stint.
38 black tailed godwits flew in from the direction of Dormans Pool.
A pleasant end to our day.
