A nice start to the day watching 10+ Goldcrests feeding on the lawn at Cliff Farm. News soon broke of a Bluethroat at Sammy's Point, we headed round there and despite many other birders looking it wasn't refound. Pick of the birds at Sammy's was a smart Snow Bunting which landed on a rock infront of me on the tideline before departing east towards Chalkies Point. The 10 Whooper Swans were still present in fields just to the north whilst other birds noted in and around The Paddocks was a Whinchat, three Redstarts, a Yellow-browed Warbler and a few Blackcaps and a Chiffchaffs.

As we got back to the main road from Easington to Kilnsea news broke of an Olive-backed Pipit in the Obs Garden. However, it's stay was short lived before it 'flicked' next door. A crowd soon assembled and Steve Exley went next door to try and flush the bird back into the Obs Garden although this failed to produce the goods. We headed round to Cliff Farm where we saw another Yellow-browed Warbler probably the same bird as the day before.
Other birds seen throughout the day included: Peregrine over Beacon Lane, 14 Swallows, a Rock Pipit, a Snipe, a Woodcock and a female Merlin as well as the classic east coast migrants.
