Spent the Afternoon in Cleethorpes hping to catch up with the Snow Buntings on the dunes and Ruff at the Fitties

Sadly I couldnt find the Snow bunting flock on the dunes. The Resisdent Ruff was present on the Fitties as usual :)

Whilst out on the dunes I walked over one and disturbed a Short-eared owl that was always flying away from me, the owl quickly gained height and flew in land being mobbed by crows. Just the normal waders and ducks arounf the boating lake and beach, but no sighn of the pink footed goose first time I havent seen it there for over a year.

All in all a very pleasant days birding and photography to :)

You need to be further north of the dunes along the whaleback.
