There are some great photos of the Eastern Black Redstart which has reappeared @FileyBirdObs and then there’s mine.
Having missed the bird by seconds at Scarborough and then got thoroughly wet through, how could I resist a day out at Filey in the sunshine.

Thirty seven Sanderling set against a silver sea in the bay corner @FileyBirdObs today; passing swiftly by me and disappearing into the low winter sun. Gone as quickly as they arrived.

Eastern black redstart, Filey.
Showing well at Bay Corner, Filey Brigg at noon. After a wet dip in Scarborough last week, bird kind enough to work its way towards me today. Thanks to original finder, a beauty. @nybirdnews @FileyBirdObs @teesbirds1 @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK

A rewarding couple of hours @FileyBirdObs earlier today in spite of the bracing NW wind & the odd icy shower.
Three confiding Snow Buntings on Carr Naze, a Red-necked Grebe, two Great Northern Divers & a single Little Auk all on the sea, bay side of The Brigg.

Carr Naze, Filey seems to be a regular spot for Snow Buntings - this bird was wonderfully obliging before too many people arrived!
