Birds on the Brigg

A week in September spent with Nick Dawtrey at Hunmanby Gap resulted in the making of this short piece about the birds of Filey Brigg.

Okay, it ain't Calderdale......but as half the birders in Calderdale seem to migrate to the east coast every Autumn, it kind of feels right.
Enjoy

Cheers guys. Sorry it took a while. I was procrastinating over the music before I had even done the voice over. If I had done the voice-over first, I would have realised that it didn't need any music....just some cymbal swells at the beginning. Could have had it finnished ages ago. Also, aologies for the voice, but it's the only one I have.

Okay, here's an ID question for y'all. What subspecies are the Dunlin?
I hedged my bets that they probably came from Scandinavia because alpina ssp comes from N. Scandinavia and Siberia, whereas schinzii ssp (same as our UK birds)come in from S. Scandinavia. I think these birds are alpinas but I cannot be 100%. They are certainly not arcticas. The taxonomic experts can't even agree on how many subspecies of Dunlin there are. ^ used to be the accepted number but I think some folk are touting as many as 13.
