The Siberian Accentor at Easington brought me out of 10 years long distance retirement today. I had waited for the initial crowds to die down, the bird was first seen on Thursday, before deciding to make the trip. Fortunately an early message on the RBA alert confirmed that the bird was still present so set out at 7:30 for the 220 mile trip from Suffolk to Easington.
On arrival at the site at 12:30 the bird was showing immediately to the small crowd of c. 40. The bird spent most of the time feeding in a weedy gravel area behind the security link fence of the Easington Gas Terminal which necessitated photographing though the fencing.
