Scarborough Birders do Out Skerries, 21st - 23rd update.

Fairly steady over the last few days.
The 21st and 22nd were two very different days, rainy all day on the 21st and nice, clear and sunny on the 22nd. The Yellow-breasted Bunting remained throughout allowing a few boat-loads time to get on and see it, and it played ball, for the most part.

Yellow-breasted Bunting still preforming well - Out Skerries - 22nd September.

It was still loosly hanging round with the Little Bunting.

Elsewhere it was largely the same with only the odd new in migrant, a Redstart and a few Blackcap etc with the Siberian Lesser Whitethroat remaining along with most Phlloscs.

Yellow-browed Warbler - Out Skerries - 22nd September.

The 23rd brought with it strong southeast winds, the beginning of a weeks worth! What would it bring? Surely something.
Well the strong wind made it difficult but several new birds were found during the day (although a Whinchat was the only one I came across). Flava, Sand Martin, Chaffinch, Spotted Flycatcher and a Corncrake were contributions made by others.

Yellow skip in position at the ferry terminal, bring on that Accentor!
