Sanderling with a leg ring

A couple of Sanderling running along the tide line

1 of the 2 Razorbills out in the bay

A quick trip out in my converted work van to Filey.
Highlights were the 51 Sanderlings running along the tide line, at least 2 had rings on, 2 Razorbills out in the bay and 42 Oystercatchers on the top of the brigg on a very windy day.

Glad you've finally got the Redpolls, I'm sure the Siskins will turn up soon

It's not often you get a new patch tick, but today, with the ings now flooded, we got patch gold with 2 Goldeneye ✅️
