Crazy afternoon! Dashed to the patch @tophilllow.bsky.social for the needletail. No sign. Then the news came out from @rspbbemptoncliffs.bsky.social so a mad dash. Made it with about 10 min to spare

Been a good run of Nearctic birds locally over the past month or so. This Lesser Yellowlegs at Filey this morning showed especially well

I was in Cyprus a few weeks ago. Luckily the trip coincided with news breaking of the Lesser Moorhen. Also, great supporting cast including 2 Caspian Plover, 6 BC Bee-eaters & Baillon's crake
