Last weekend had a little break up to Yorkshire with my local RSPB group for a boat around Bridlington Bay but first stop was a evening visit to Frampton Marsh on route.
First thing that caught my eye was the impressive row of Sunflowers stetching from the vistor centre down to where the road ends an amazing sight.
Next stopped at the view points where had a couple of Green Sandpipers and a few Black-tailed Godwits and Little Egrets before heading down to the 360 hide for a closer view of the waders but before i got to the hide had a super Goldfinch flock of over 50 birds feeding on the thistles.
From the 360 Hide the waders numbers were just spellbinding with thousands of Godwits mainly Black-tailed, Hundreds of Dunlins and Ringed Plovers with good numbers of Curlew Sandpipers, Snipe and Ruffs showing really well.
Then ended the evening with a walk around the sea wall where I added two Yellow Wagtails and three Wheatears to end a lovely evening.
