Saturday the 27th was a day out with members of RSPB York Local Group. Our 2nd coach trip of the year took us to Spurn. We arrived at 10 am just as the tide was starting to go out. Lots of waders on the mudflats.
Knot, grey plover, dunlin, ringed plover, godwits, redshank were busily feeding until a female peregrine flew over and they all flew off. A short spell of sea watching was rewarded with a few common scoter and wigeon. From the hide at Canal Scrape we saw pied and grey wagtail.
After lunch we walked around the triangle trail. Lots of stonechats at one point.
In the Crown and Anchor car park we were able to watch a female pied flycatcher.
A dusky warbler had been seen in the area, but we decided not to wait and see if it re-appeared. As we walked along the Humber we saw more dunlin and redshank as well as lots of shelduck.
We left at 4 pm after a very pleasant day.
