A trip to Spurn hoping for a few shrikes that were there yesterday, of course being the weekend there was not one to be seen ! Plus the rain was absolutely torrential, so we sat in Canal Hide where we enjoyed a male redstart and a spotted flycatcher. As soon as the rain stopped, we headed to Beacon Lane for this red-breasted flycatcher that was in the garden with the big gates (that were closed!). It's not easy trying to see a very mobile bird with a dozen other birders peering round the gateposts but soon a message came round that 5 bee eaters were heading south towards spurn and everyone cleared off to wait for these leaving just us two and the flycatcher, brilliant!
