Oh deer, things are very quiet, so...

Sunday 7th September

A trip to Spurn. Eventually the barred warbler showed in the hedge near Kew Villa.

Walking the triangle I saw a roe deer heading towards me. Camera ready, I hid. Pretty sure it hadn't seen me.

Having walked my walk I dropped in on Church Field where a free ringing demonstration was imminent as part of the Vis Mig Festival.

A young sparrowhawk was shown to the assembled crowd.

I drove round to Kilnsea Wetlands car park. Curlew sandpipers, 2 still quite red adults and 3 little stints but a bit out of camera range.  One dunlin was nearer the hide.

Some other birders had spotted a cricket. Always impressed what my 400mm lens can do when asked to do close-ups!

Back at the Crown & Anchor car park the pied flycatcher showed well. Photos taken earlier in the morning were not worth including.

I broke my journney home with a visit to Blacktoft. Little to report but the French teal with the bill ring showed well at Marshland.

After family commitments Sheila and I went to Hornsea in the afternoon. The walk on the promenade was unproductive but the visit to the Mere did us proud with wheatears...

...and little gulls. If you don't like little gulls, look away now!
