Many Lincolnshire birders will know Ben Ward, he's now living and birding in Yorkshire. This morning he refound the White-throated Needletail on his Scarborough castle patch. His flat list is on nearly 150species! #Lincsbirding

View of the brigg from our caravan at Reighton sands. I reckon I would have seen the Needletail from here if I hadn't have dashed to the brigg.
