A Wheatear was a Broomfleet tick, while small numbers of Swifts and House Martin joined the many Sand Martins and Swallows hawking over the marsh.

Hairy Variables
Quick tour of Broomfleet Washlands, East Yorks, this afternoon in a howling gale didn't disappoint. 55+ Variable Damselflies showing well on the south end of the site. Also a male Hairy Dragonfly was whizzing round before disappointingly landing in a tree some 15ft up and avoiding having its photograph taken! 10 Large Reds, 3 Azures, 1 Common Blue, 2 Blue-tailed Dams and 2 teneral Red-eyes made up the rest.
This one showing off the exclamation marks on the antehumerals.
