Wryneck

I got in an evening session at Church Norton, mainly looking for storm blown birds but fortunately stumbled across the Wryneck that has been around in the area for a few days. Other highlights included 2 Spoonbill, the juv Curlew Sandpiper and 8 Sanderling. Ebird list HERE. Now on 198 for the new local patch. 

There was a significant influx of moth migrants last night. The south westerly wind seems to be drawing up air from further south now with temperatures set to increase over the next couple of days so hopefully the migration wave keeps up.
