Purple Sandpiper at Cleethorpes 13/2, north of Suggitts Lane. As far as I am aware, this is the only wintering bird in the county (a couple of photos on my blog). No sign of the Red-necked Grebe at Cleethorpes Country Park 13/2, but 1st-winter Med Gull present. regards Chris |

One seen yesterday at Gib could have been the same as the bird seen here a week or so ago (both per John Shaughnessy). Assuming it is with turnstones - the flock of 30-50 ranges widely up and down this coast. It was not reported this morning. Most of the fiieldfare flock (up to 5000+) departed rapidly during the last week after stripping the sea buckthorn berries. Birds in song this weekend here - chaffinch, wren, dunnock, robin, corn bunting, great tit. Cheers Kev |
