This was my first visit to Spurn. The trip was organised last minute as the weather on the Fylde was forecast to be bad but better on the east coast. Sadly the wind picked up and was so strong it was hard to hold your bins steady to your face. There were a couple of Great Grey Shrikes kicking about and a Rough-legged Buzzard reported but we weren't lucky enough to see them (nor were many other birders from what I gathered). The trip wasn't wasted as we saw some cracking birds including
Twite, Brambling, Redstart, Dark-bellied Brent Goose and Marsh Harrier. Bird of the day was
Short-eared Owl hunting just meters away from us and we also saw our first
Redwing of the Autumn.
