Another day for Flamborough to welcome the wider birding world, with two quality rares on offer we were joined by a large number of visiting birders and hopefully most went away happy. The Crag Martin showed well from North landing early on before drifting towards the foghorn area, unfortunately it disappeared later in the morning. Luckily there was some compensation in the Tawny Pipit that, having initially been difficult to pin down has gradually become more obliging during its stay on the headland. Early in the day it showed very well at Briel Nook (which was handy for those looking for the Crag Martin) before heading south back towards the golf course and then spending the bulk of the afternoon in the field to the south of Head Farm.
Other sightings today included two Common Buzzards heading west over the outer head and 2 Wheatear and a Yellow Wagtail on the Golf Course, 2 Yellow Wagtail were also seen to fly in-off the sea at North Landing where there were a further 5 Wheatears in the fields. The south side of the headland and South Landing in particular added 8 Sand Martins, a Swallow, Blackcap and two Wheatears to the days totals whilst several Swallow and Sand Martin were seen elsewhere.
