At the weekend the male Great Spotted Woodpecker, brought two offspring into the garden, but I only managed to photograph one young at a time.

On Wednesday rain was forecast for all morning and some of the afternoon, so our Turtle Dove, butterfly and dragonfly venue had to be abandoned in favour of RSPB Blacktoft Sands. In the morning we had good views of female Bittern, plus 2 pristine Spotted Redshank, Spoonbill, Barn Owl, Marsh Harriers, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, Whitethroat, Reed Bunting, Water Rail (h), Shelduck, Gadwall, Heron, Little Grebe etc.

The views of the Bittern flying across RSPB Blacktoft Sands after lunch were even better than in the morning.

Cetti’s Warblers are normally very hard to see, but this afternoon we found a family of about 5, one fledgling of which stayed still long enough for its photo to be taken at RSPB Blacktoft Sands.

On Friday we had a whole day on Flamborough Cliffs. Most of the same birds were there as on Tuesday, but we had better views of a Kestrel and a very red Linnet.
