Sightings

The assemblage of White-fronted Geese west of the Dams swelled to 50 today (with 11 Pink-feet), while the Kingfisher and two Great Northern Divers remained in the Brigg area and the Goldeneye was still at the Dams. 

With White-fronted Geese arriving in small numbers along the coast in recent days, we were hopeful of getting some action here at Filey – and as of this evening we did, with no fewer than 28 dropping onto the fields just west of the Dams at last light today. Two dark-bellied Brents and 11 Ringed […]

Very much a case of as you were over recent days, although there are some quality lingering birds still on offer – including the Black Guillemot, Great Northern Diver and Long-tailed Duck all bayside of the Brigg, and at least two Snow Buntings on Carr Naze. Additional records have included a Goldeneye and a Little […]

All today’s notable records could be seen from effectively the same spot on Carr Naze, featuring an excellent roll-call of winter specialities including a Black Guillemot, Black-throated and Great Northern Divers, a Long-tailed Duck, a Little Gull, two Snow Buntings, two Great Crested Grebes, eight Red-throated Divers, a Red-breasted Merganser, three Common Scoters and three […]

A busy day at the Dams was headed up by a flyover Great Egret this morning, with other reports from there including an adult Mediterranean Gull, 100 Lapwings, three Black-tailed Godwits, the juvenile Whooper Swan and the Kingfisher.

A Great Northern Diver and 54 Red-throated Divers were the best of the sea this morning, with the Velvet Scoter still in the bay, two Snow Buntings still on Carr Naze and four little Gulls still off the seafront.

At the Dams, a Goosander and a Black-tailed Godwit joined the long-staying Kingfisher, up to eight Snow Buntings are in the carr Naze area, while on the sea, a Little Gull and a Grey Plover went south and limited wildfowl movements included 52 Teal and four Pochard.

The Black Guillemot remained faithful to the south side of Carr Naze all day today, while four Snow Buntings frequented the latter, the Kingfisher was still at the Dams, while an Arctic and two Great Skuas were the best of a quiet sea. 

A day of brisk north-easterlies brought a Black Guiillemot to the south side of the Brigg this afternoon – a just about annual visitor, Black Guillemots do sometimes stick around and the Brigg  / bay corner may hold the bird for a while. Seven little Gulls, three Eiders,  50 Common Scoters and 20 Red-throated Divers […]

A male Snow Bunting came in and dropped onto Carr Naze briefly before heading south, while off the the Brigg, over a hundred Red-throated and a single Great Northern Diver were present or passing, an adult little Gull fed and then meandered north with Black-headed Gulls, five dark-bellied Brent Geese went south and single Goldeneye […]
