Lincolnshire again attracted some very good birds throughout the year including Stilt Sandpiper and Baird's Sandpiper at Alkborough Flats. Rustic Bunting at Horseshoe Point. Gull-billed Tern at Baston/Langtoft. Roller at Timberland, Red-breasted Goose at two locations and White-tailed Lapwing at three locations.
Yorkshire produced another good crop of rarities including Turkestan Shrike at Bempton, Brown Shrike, Citrine Wagtail & Barred Warbler at Kilnsea, Red-flanked Bluetail at Easington, Black-browed Albatross at Bempton Cliffs, Baikal Teal at Swine Moor, Greater Sand Plover at Redcar, Spotted Crake at two locations, Breeding Black-winged Stilts at Potteric Carr and Purple Heron at Denaby Ings.
Elsewhere, the Cape Gull at Grafham Water was a major national rarity, as was the Alpine Accentor in Suffolk. Norfolk hosted breeding Bee-eaters at Trimingham, plus a Spotted Sandpiper at Titchwell Marsh. Once again, a Great Reed Warbler spent a while in Nottinghamshire
The usual Scilly Isles summary includes clips of the very rare Blackburnian Warbler, plus Swainson's Thrush & Buff-bellied Pipit.
An additional bonus was the Walrus that arrived at Scarborough Harbour on the final day of the year!
All of the above and lots more, are included in this edition which has a total running time of 179 minutes. The usual narration provides information for each sighting.
