After overnighting at Flamborough, an afternoon and evening surveying on the Humber yesterday; with an hour or so to kill on the way down the coast, I approached the road which falls straight into the sea just beyond the Kilnsea village - ideal.
With a strong south-westerly and a swirling cloud fronts, I expected little, but parked up by the sheer drop and took a lunch break.

Just over an hour or so later, and I'd an Osprey in off the sea and south-west, several Little Gulls and Arctic Skuas, a trickle of Swifts in off and over the sea, Arctic, Common and Sandwich Terns, Red-throated Divers, dark-bellied Brent Geese and more, mostly moving south into the wind; one of those fruitful bonus sessions that happily occur once in a while, reminding you that migration is marching on regardless of the conditions.
