On route from Spurn Point to Lancashire, we diverted to see the long staying White-tailed Lapwing. The car park was almost full and the bird had plenty of admirers but as it was easy to see and the hide was not very crowded. We were fortunate in that a Bluethroat that had been there several days, was also present but the hide much more crowded. Not great during the Covid pandemic! Other birds seen included Bearded Tits, Ruff, Green Sandpiper, Snipe and Marsh Harrier.
Then a long slow journey back to Leyland in heavy traffic.
