After an absolutely cracking day yesterday at Flamborough (cheers Nick and Andy) with great autumn migrants headed by Red-flanked Bluetail, Red-breasted Flycatcher, distant views of Barred Warbler and a few Yellow-browed Warblers - together with a fine supporting cast of Ring Ouzel, Spotted Flycatcher and Redstarts, it was back to my local patch today.
No disappointment at all though as there were birds aplenty on the cliffs, and they were still arriving too with Skylarks and Mipits overhead plus at least 4 Wheatear that must have just arrived as they were around the caravan park and right on the cliff edge.
6 Stonechats were also on the cliff edge and just a few yards in on the fence and scrub, but the best bird of the morning was a Whinchat that didn't hang around long enough for a photo. I searched for it but couldn't refind it.
Most of the pics today are full frame with no cropping necessary for a change.

Back to yesterday morning to finish off this blog post and a wonderful meeting with a weasel on the Outer Head cliff path:
