Tuesday 18th October

Ken Montandon , Andy Bond and myself made the long trip up to Easington in East Yorkshire to look for the very rare Siberian Accentor leaving here at 1am and getting there at 6.30 am , the weather was bad with heavy rain falling as we made our way to the bird , it showed quite well early on out in the open but the light was no good to get any photos in and as the light got a little bit better it then spent quite a lot of time in the gas compound but it was harder to see grubbing about on the floor and I was lucky to get these two shots of it .... But I got it !!!!! Yessssssssss
The Spurn area was alive with birds and we saw some Tundra Bean Geese and Pink Footed Geese , a female Black Redstart , 2 Shore Lark , an Isabelline Wheatear , 8 Northern Wheatear , 100-150 Eurasian Tree Sparrow , a Lapland Bunting , a male Brambling and also seen were numerous Redwing and Fieldfare and in with them were 2 Ring Ouzel
