Red-eyed Vireo.....Easington,East Yorkshire,12th October 2019.

There i was just enjoying my first half an hour or so on the patch when all twitching hell breaks loose as Tim rang me to say there's a Red-eyed Vireo at Easington near Spurn!....i thanked him in between several expletives as i ran-power walked back to the car.
 I was soon burning rubber and heading through Hull towards where the bird had been found in Easington village,parking up rather rapidly and grabbing my gear before being greeted by several familiar faces saying it had just been seen...thank christ for that!.
 It wasn't long before i was watching my first Red-eyed Vireo as it gleaned aphids from the sycamore it was feeding in,what a cracking looking bird,with its large flaring supercilium,greenish upperparts and yellowish undertail coverts.
 Over the next 3 hours i watched the bird on and off and enjoyed some lovely views,it seemed to particularly like returning to a Dog Wood bush to eat the berries,perhaps something they eat in their breeding grounds in North America.
 It's amazing to think where this bird has originated,a minimum of 3000 miles away an incredible feat for a bird which was only hatched in the summer months,bird migration is just incredible!.
 Tim eventually arrived with Arash and they both eventually gained some great views of the bird and i thanked Tim again for the call,with less swearing this time.
 This is only the second record of the species for Yorkshire,but amazingly the second record for the Spurn recording area after a bird which was trapped and ringed at the Warren on 30th September 1990.
