My daughter and I had a weekend at Spurn Point arranged but stopped off at Blacktoft Sands RSPB reserve on the way.
The pools had apparently been very dry due to the drought but recently flooded by a few very high tides. The Marshland pool held quite a few waders including Dunlin, Spotted Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Snipe and a single Avocet.

At the Ousefleet hide there were several hundred dabbling ducks. These were mainly Teal but with good numbers of Wigeon, Pintail, Shoveler, Gadwall and a single Garganey in eclipse plumage.
