There’s an incredible 18 Wood Sand at Swinemoor, Beverley today.
I’m guessing this must be one of the highest counts in Yorkshire but I don’t have all the old Yorkshire bird reports to check.
I’d be very interested if anyone has any details of high counts for Yorkshire.

Selling my Sony G FE 200-600mm F5.6-F6.6 lens it’s in great condition with no marks on the lenses, it’s boxed and has the hood, strap, case, instructions. It has a vinyl skin applied. Looking for £950 Collection only or can meet at Spurn/Flamborough etc.
Nice to get in on the Glossy Ibis influx when these 25 flew alongside the A47 nr Pentney in Norfolk this morning whilst en route to Hickling.
One of the last birds seen on this Oman trip also happens to be one of the best. Part of a flock of 7 beautiful elegant Caspian plovers. Check out how long the tertials are on the flight shot!
Nice little boat trip out of Mirbat, Oman this morning produced the hoped for Jouanin’s Petrel, Persian and Flesh footed Shearwaters and Wilson’s Petrels
On the way to Manchester airport when news came through of this beast 20 mins out of the way so had to go for a look. Stunner even to a non-moffer

This Winter Damselfly was a fantastic unexpected new damsel for me whilst birding in some cracking woodland today. Avian highlights were Middle Spotted Woodpeckers, Crested Tits Firecrest, Short toed Treecreepers and Goshawks.
Siberian Pipit in The Netherlands today was a most wanted after missing them in several countries. Now for beer with mates.
Yesterday was a good day, saw nacreous clouds for the first time and managed to reach midnight having avoided being whamageddoned
