The coastal hotspots at Spurn and Kilnsea on the East Yorkshire Coast are as good a bet as anywhere to produce migrants during the autumn months.<\/strong><\/span> This weekend was no exception, as it was the 5th Migration Festival weekend, so with such a lot of people in the area, birds were bound to be found. On our arrival at Kilnsea, we quickly got to see a very obliging Wryneck<\/span><\/strong>, a Black Redstart and a Wheatear. At the Kilnsea wetlands reserve, a couple of juvenile Little Stint, several Curlew Sandpiper<\/span>, a few Ruff and a Whinchat<\/span> were all present. Lots of very fresh Red Admiral and a sprinkling of Painted Lady butterflies were on the wing. After a mid-afternoon Bacon Buttie and cup of tea at the Caravan Park Cafe, we decided to head off to Notts to look for a couple of Pectoral Sandpiper. We all knew it would be a big mistake to leave Spurn so early in the day and sure enough, after an hour or so from Spurn, news broke around 4pm of the discovery of a juvenile Long-billed Dowitcher. Not so sure I will be doing that again when I next visit Spurn.. My year list has move on to 219<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n
