A Barn Owl flying down Kilnsea Road started my morning at Spurn, as I made my way to the Canal Hide. On Monday I had seen Jack Snipe there and fancied a quiet session photographing them, if they were around. In the hide, I heard a Jack Snipe was in Clubley's Field but I was already onto one and soon made out another, together with a Common Snipe. I was distracted briefly by the appearance of a Kingfisher which perched up and fished for a while. It was quite some time before the Jack's made a reasonable show, often hidden amongst the cut reed stems. A little later I took a walk around Easington and in Vicar's Lane there was a Pied Flycatcher and a Yellow-browed Warbler, together with a few Goldcrests and Chiffchaffs. Sammy's Point was quiet but did improve later in the day as the temperature rose remarkably for the end of September! Back in Kilnsea, a cracking Firecrest was moving up and down the hedgerows around the Bluebell and Beacon Lane. Down the road at Southfield Farm, 4 Stonechats were on the fence lines and were presumably new in today. A Meadow Pipit alighted from the same field. I would like to say thanks to those who retweet and favourite my images - thanks a lot!
