Had an overnight stay at Sammy’s Point, near Spurn Head, alongside a couple of campervans. It’s the perfect place for an uninterrupted kip, with no light pollution and little danger of being disturbed in the night (except maybe by the calls of migrating geese). My early morning session at Kilnsea Wetlands was a bit of an anti-climax. The few waders were mostly far away: a sight shared with half a dozen taciturn twitchers. The highlight was probably the pintails, which were just coming out of the summer ‘eclipse’, when their feathers are dull, to become a very handsome duck indeed.
