2nd awkward station of the day, just 11 trains stop here each day!
There’s not much here, just a couple of thin and narrow platforms.

What I think must be a hybrid Lesser x Russian Whitefront with 3,000 Pinks between Ellerker & Broomfleet late afternoon. Small size, tiny bill, long wings, dark tail but no yellow orbital ring... 🧐 Comments welcomed #yorkshirebirding #humberbirds

I’ve been trying to meet a pal to walk Howden to Broomfleet since November, but every weekend we plan it, the weather is like this. I don’t mind getting wet, but it would be no fun in this.

@mothiduk.bsky.social I wonder if you have any ID thoughts about this caterpillar. Found at Broomfleet Washlands, SE Yorkshire, 21st May. I think on a Bramble leaf. iNaturalist suggested a Tortricid Leafroller Moth.

Clifford married local heiress Margaret Broomfleet and lived a few miles from here at Londesborough. He escaped retribution at the Battle of Towton 1461 by being killed by a stray arrow the night before. The Dukes of Devonshire are descended from the Cliffords.
2/ The battle also saw the death of Edmund, earl of Rutland, the duke of York's 17 year old son.

John, Lord Clifford, ‘the butcher’ and the killing of Edmund, earl of Rutland, at the battle of Wakefield, 30 December 1460 - The History of Parliament

All those level crossings and one-road villages. I grew up not far from there (as kids we roamed a few miles, as far as Broomfleet), but more or less moved away at 18 and didn't appreciate it at the time.

In Broomfleet, just as you get back on the road, after the converted old station, there's a house with an honesty box with all sorts of pickles , sweets etc. The piccalilli is magnificent!
