4th September. The Early Bird.......

Unable to get to Flamborough for the Olivaceous Warbler during the week I decided to head to Orgeave first thing Saturday morning then head to up to the east coast on positive news. Predictably the warbler had gone overnight. Rather less predictable was Roy beating me to Orgreave. Feeling slightly less enthusiastic I headed towards the pole. Roy had already found three Yellow-legged Gulls and beaten my previous days count of four hundred Lesser Black-backed Gulls with a count of six hundred. Feeling a bit miffed I scanned through the rolling mist and picked up a a Black-necked Grebe! Happier I headed home for a spot of bra shopping!!
