Ex-Boulmer patch birder, now in deepest Lincs.
Nice afternoon at Gib...
First a Pipit in ED found by Kev Wilson before flying north, which we both think is an Olive-backed...flights shots and sonogram below, any thoughts welcome.
Then a dull YBW which played hard to get but eventually called normally.

Decent little seawatch from Huttoft Car Terrace this morning, highlights being a Little Auk N, and 2 Poms (vid) and a Long-tailed Skua south.
A Snow Bunting dropped in, and a SEO in-off, generally very little in volume of birds moving though.

A few days up at Boulmer...outside 2 Marsh Tits, this Velvet-type Scoter was most interesting yesterday aft with @markaeaton.bsky.social
Surf-like, with quite a bit more white around the face and different bill/head profile, though very changeable in pics...
Appreciate any thoughts...

A couple of days midweek spent at Gib Pt in easterlies; not the hoped for scarcity bird-wise, but not bad either, the highlight being potentially a reserve first in a Vagrant Emperor hunting the dunes.

Just a morning left at Falsterbo tomorrow, but some stuff again today, highlighted by Pallid Harrier, Long-tailed Skua and 10 u-turning Nutcrackers.
Some better general raptor passage too, though still far from classic conditions.

Their excitable flocks were wizzing past at eye-level into a strong head-wind today, then climbing south.

Lots to see, if not classic weather, a Barred Warbler probably the pick for scarcity so far.

What took up most of my interest at Leadenham was this ringed fuscus-type.
Everything in the field seemed good, but seems like it's likely intermedius, being ringed as a 4cy+ near Stavanger.
