Spurn birding

As many of my blog followers will know, Spurn is an absolute favourite place of mine to go birding. It's about 3 1/4 hours from home to reach the peninsula but a trip rarely disappoints. I first saw Spurn on a feature on Springwatch and it seemed many miles away but now it's part of every year. I thought I'd just detail the lifers I have recorded at this very special place. For me, Spurn is friendly and open with everyone helping each other with as many great birds as possible.
