A few days in Flamborough

I had a few days in Flamborough with a couple of friends to catch a little of the Autumn migration last week. The weather wasn't too bad with rain Tuesday afternoon but Wednesday and Thursday were dry and breezy. Wednesday was the best day as when Thursday dawned it became apparent that there had been a clear out of birds.

I had two lifers in Yellow browed Warbler (at Old Fall) and Firecrest (showing well at Bay Brambles) with Jack Snipe a year first for me. I didn't get too many photos as the birds were either not showing well enough or were in deep cover so the auto focus wouldn't function, and manual focus is too slow with me operating it :)

I was in a camping pod up at Wold camp site and the pod was comfy enough and dry enough to keep the worst of the elements at bay.
