Yellowhammer and other wildlife spotted during a wander round Thornwick Bay holiday park during my last morning in Yorkshire - 12th June 2026

I had been hoping to see a Yellowhammer during my week in East Yorkshire, but it only happened on my last morning when I went to the back of the lake where I had previously seen the lovely Brown Hare



A walk along the path behind the hedge on the border of the holiday park produced a Common Whitethroat

a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly

a Painted Lady butterfly

a rather distant male Linnet

and a very quickly disappearing Skylark

On the side of the site near the sea, I came across a Meadow Pipit perching on a bramble

The field on the cliff in front of the holiday park was full of grass stems swaying in the wind

and beautiful yellow Meadow Buttercups



There were some lovely mauve Poppies by one of the entrances to Thornwick nature reserve




 I spent a great week on the East Yorkshire coast with all sorts of weather - sun, heat, wind, rain, thunder and lightning - and had a really great time.  I hope I will be able to go there again next year!
