East Yorkshire.... Again!

Having used up the entire day on Monday looking for the Brown Flycatcher, I didn't get chance to go and have a look at any other migrants which had turned up elsewhere on the East Coast. Yesterday myself, dad and Mike Hunter headed back across for a full day out. With a broken camera this will be another picture -less post, so I will make it brief!
