After the rather brief appearance of a Taiga Flycatcher on the cliffs at Flamborough Head on 16th October there was a sigh of relief for lots of Yorkshire Listers when on 4th November this bird (below) was discovered at South Landing allowing those who didn't get into gear fast enough first time round a second bite of the cherry. Whether or not it was the same bird that had simply relocated was up for debate (although photos seem to suggest it probably was) but whatever the case it did the obliging thing and remained several days including a full weekend and better still was joined by a rather showy Red-flanked Bluetail!
