Spurn Migfest '24 - big stuff

Finally a little time to start looking through the memory card for the last few weeks, starting with an additional few photos from the Spurn Migration Festival:
Rich and I had this freakishly short-billed Whimbrel while enjoying the high tide wader roost at the Warren on the early morning of the 6th (Sep) - as you might imagine, it caused a few skipped heartbeats before we'd applied a more measured process of elimination.....!
This lovely Pallid Harrier, meanwhile, had the good grace to drift past us just as we sat down for dinner in the Crown and Anchor....
... while three Arctic Skuas flew over our heads while we were enjoying the Bee-eater on Easington Straight.
