Thornwick Pool, Flamborough - 27th August 2021

 

Wall Butterfly

With Symphony due at the groomers in Flamborough, I had an hour or so to kill, so chose to spend it at Thornwick Pool. The hide has been locked and thoroughly cleaned after an episode of binge drinking, emesis and general use as a toilet - grateful thanks to the small team that cleaned up the mess, left by young hobbledehoys. Unfortunately, my hide key would not turn in the lock, but my access was saved by the long suffering Tony, who sorted the lock - again grateful thanks Tony.

Quite quiet bird wise, the best being 7 Dunlin, 2 Green Sandpipers, 2 Snipe, a Wigeon and brightening up the cool, dull and cloudy day, several Wall Butterflies.
