En route over the Wold top at Elsham,a flock of feeding gulls following a plough,included a cracking adult Med Gull,unfortunately it didn't pose for any pics though.
After arriving at Water's Edge,i decided to check the viewing area first,a site which has been pretty productive over the years,with me seeing 2 Firecrest,2 Wood and 1 Marsh Warbler over my many visits here.
I checked all the suitable habitat and didn't get too bad a return,albeit no YBW.But i managed to find a pretty late Spotted Flycatcher,which was watched sallying flying prey in one of the mature sycamores.This is my latest personal record of this lovely flycatcher and are always great to see.Other species noted included 3 Chiffie and 5 Goldcrest and a few finches.
A similar search around the wooded area on Water's Edge only revealed 3 Chiff's and 1 Goldcrest,a poor return really considering i have seen 3 Yellow-browed's here over the years.
Vis Mig today included a decent passage west of Pink-footed Geese,with flock's of 44,32,41,36,84,85,32,45 and 35 and this included a collared bird,but i could'nt make out any lettering on it.A few Skylarks,Alba Wags and a single Redpoll sp. moved over in the same direction.
Not a bad few hours out and about today,looking forward to a full day out tomorrow.
