With a few days to spare back in the UK I decided to head over the Spurn point to see some friends and also maybe see some birds. Unfortunately, as seems to be the new normal in spring, there were not many migrants to speak of and despite walking around the Triangle a few times I failed to turn up anything different.
However, whilst I was there a Kentish Plover was found on Kilnsea Wetlands. This was a rather dapper male bird and a nice contrast to the autumn bird I saw here a few years ago. Although it was mobile between Kilnsea Wetlands and Beacon Ponds, it did occasionally show well in front of the wetlands hide.
In addition I also paid a visit to Hodgsons Field which had much more breeding activity, with good numbers of different singing warblers. Although all common species, it was still an excellent place to spend a few hours birding in the morning.
