Swallows

These are two young ones ready to face the cold cruel world. Best of Luck to them

Grasshopper Warbler


At the bottom of the Canal Path on the right hand side with a little patience and luck we caught this Warbler on three occations though not always obligingly sat out for its picture taking.

Lizard

Walking past the Canal Hide there is aspot where this little fellow sits in the sunshine , its on the right hand side just before you get to the Hide door on a round horizontal post

Grey Wagtail

This is our first Grey Wagtail for the year at Spurn and thanks to Tony who spotted it and pointed it out to me . Cheers Tony

Young Wren

Just had to put this little one on.The future generation. Lets hope he makes it

Perching







Just a few different perching birds. Nothing rare , just nice to look at

Pomerine Skua


This was a first for us and to get so close was especially good. Usually only seen at great distance this one flew from the Beacon Ponds area and down the Peninsular before disappearing out at sea . Lucky us

These are a few of the birds for June








From Juvenile Pied Wagtails to MarshTit in the hand it had been a pleasant week and totally enyoyable. Unfortunately we missed quite a few of the passing migrants including Spoonbills Crossbills Bee Eater just to mention a few. Always next time
