New Sensations - Filey, 22nd April 2020

Short-eared Owl - even less awake than I was
 
Another cool, clear, sunny morning and, as hoped, another batch of new arrivals here in Filey. Firsts for the year in the golden early light included Garden Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat, Green Sandpiper (among a trickle of waders on the move) and Sedge Warbler, with a Swift past the study yesterday afternoon.
