North Killingholme, 12th June '26

A busy week of guiding and surveying, culminating in a long but pleasant day on the south bank of the Humber at North Killingholme, my longest-serving site (I've been surveying here for many years now).
Not a great deal to report, but the bushes were positively bursting with recently-fledged young 'uns - mostly tits and warblers - which in itself was a joy;
Even in this most industrial of settings, the flowers were equally bursting with life and colour - especially both White and Goldmoss (Biting) Stonecrop, extensive mats of which crept over the concrete track and along the seawall (see below).
(I also managed an 8km run between counts to keep my training up - only a week or so to go.....)
