YORKSHIRE'S EAST COAST
10th – 11th October 2009

Autumn migration.

A two day break visiting some of Yorkshire's most exciting birding hotspots, where we'll search for visible signs of migration. At this time of year the Yorkshire coast is as good as any for witnessing large movements of birds heading south, with regular falls of commoner species, frequently involving thousands of birds. Pipits, thrushes, chats, warblers, flycatchers and bunting are all represented and often rarer species can occur with their common cousins.

A full day will be spent in the Spurn area, one of the best-known rarity hotspots in the UK.
