The Start of a Dive

After a Failed Dive

Wednesday didn't seem to hold any surprises, as Flamborough is one of those places where everything is present on its allocated shelf. However, this year was a little different. The results of that are already on display in the previous post. Despite this, it is somewhere where you can get better and closer photos of wildlife than most other places. Highlights included: Peregrine, Puffin, Razorbill, Guillemot, Fulmar, Linnet, Yellowhammer, Whitethroat, Sedge Warbler, Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Kittiwake, Kestrel, Tufted Duck, etc

Thursday was a little disappointing at first

Thursday was a little disappointing because the Redstart tree and the two trees nearest to it had been severely butchered. There was no sign of the potential star bird, which should have been incubating its second brood by now. However, the surprising Yellow Wagtail in the car park was definitely a plus point. I don't remember ever seeing one here before, or even anywhere in thenlocality.

In the afternoon for about 10 seconds some of the members were lucky enough to catch sight of a distant male Redstart catching insects. However, it was in an area where we've never seen them before, and is soon disappeared and was never relocated.

Friday was a day of two halves. In the morning we went to Barlow Common and had good sightings of Green Woodpeckers, Linnets and a stunning male broad Bodied Chaser. Plus: a Great Spotted Woodpecker family, Bullfinch, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Garden Warbler, Linnet, and Kestrel.

The afternoon group caught up with Oakhill Ponds, which had bad weather the last time they visited. We did see a Turtle Dove, Reed Warblers, Reed Buntings, and a few other species, but the insects and flowers were always easier to photograph!
