20251009 White-throated Needletail, Filey Brigg

 

20251009 White-throated Needletail
Over Filey Bay from Filey Brigg....!!
ISO 12800.
Interesting to note the bird was re-located at Bempton Cliffs yesterday by a tour group,
as is often the case..,
due to the excessive amount of time they spend standing around in the field...

'The day had been retrieved Jump Start Eric'.
Thanks to a top British twitcher who galloped by at Bempton Cliffs shouting out 'Needletail off Filey Brigg'...!!
10mins latter the bird was in the bag....
Said Twitcher also galloped up onto the Brigg..!
following 4 dips of this species. What a grip back?!
