Well this certainly wasn't on the radar for the local patch this morning, a Northern-bottle nosed Whale, possibly the first record for the Humber estuary.

@andy-1963.bsky.social Hi Andy see these attached maps of the site for the BWP, if you put Ings Road in the Sat Nav it should get you there. It is a single track road with a dead end where you can turn around when you leave the site. You will have to park half on and half off the road. Good luck.

The local Little Owl fledglings showed really nicely and a smart Whinchat before I left was a nice bonus. #UKbirding #Yorkshirebirding
