Filey

With the day looking rather quiet at Spurn, and options for birding seeming limited I decided to take Lia to Filey to look at seabirds and Purple Sandpipers. And whilst the seabirds did not produce in absolutely shocking conditions, the Purple Sandpipers put on quite the performance with one particular individual approaching so close that we could almost touch it. Other birds were a bit few and far between, but Purple Sandpipers are always a winner.
