Migrant Hawker Dragonfly
My day started with a walk around the Bempton circuit, a four mile walk, which today was very quiet and nothing motivated me enough to raise my camera! Messages started coming out of a Little Stint at Filey Dams, (year tick), but I was a long way from home and no transport. It was not until late afternoon that I managed to get to Filey, by which time the Stint had moved from showing well at the Dams to very distant at East Lea! But I did get my tick!
East Lea is a private members only reserve managed by Filey Bird Observatory and Group HERE
Arriving at East Lea, birds present included Spoonbill, Dunlin (3), Ruff, Bar Tailed Godwit and the distant speck of the Little Stint.
At least I was able to capture some images, even though most were distant!

Spoonbill
I don't normally take images of Dragonflies, (to fast, small and I don't know what they are!) but this Migrant Hawker begged to be captured!
And now, my images become "record shots"!

Not a bad hour, warm sunshine, good birds long may it continue!
