Hornsea Mere and Hornsea South Cliffs

Light rain and very gentle force 1 or 2 NW breeeze; 15 degrees C.

An early visit to Kirkholme Point paid off with a 1st winter Grey Wagtail feeding around the jetties. The buff throat showed well and made it an easy id for me.

4 Little Gulls on the jetties with Black-headed Gulls continued the run of disappointingly low numbers of this bird through Autumn.

Swallows and House Martins were over KP along with 2 late Swift.

2 Little Egret squabbling over by the reed bed off 1st field and 2 Grey Heron, one on Swan Island and one in the reed bed on the north side.

As I walked out towards the gates to go down to the seafront, 2 Kingfishers came down the reeds past me and flew into Bull Hole.

Off shore 3 Sandwich Terns flew north then turned and went back south.

On the cliffs a Wheatear and about 15 Meadow Pipits represented the sum total of migrants today.
