Thornwick Pool, Flamborough - 28th July 2022

 

Territorial Dispute!

Symphony was due her grooming in Flamborough this morning, giving me some time to spend at Thornwick Pool. So, at just after 1000hrs, I entered the empty hide and hoped for something good. It did not happen, so I made the most of the common, expected species. I was joined by a chap visiting from York and later by Andrew L, and interesting conversations were struck up! Best of the two hours were a solitary Redshank, two Dunlin, five juvenile Yellow Wagtails with numerous passerines coming down to the dust and water including Tree sparrows; Starlings; Linnets; Goldfinches; Green Finches and hirundines hunting insects. Made a change from Bempton!
