Quick visit this afternoon to Beacon Ponds at Kilnsea for the Lesser Yellowlegs in very windy conditions (thank goodness for the stabilise option on my phone) @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding

Just a few of the waders at Skeffling end of The Outstrays this morning as the tide was turning. Amazing to watch- 'big up' the Humber! #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding

Whooper Swan family at The Outstrays last night just before they flew off into the sunset. #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding

Another juv Peregrine today, this one caught its own Woodpigeon but lost it immediately to a Buzzard. Pinks everywhere, more Whoopers south, and my first Redwings of the autumn, 1,020 pouring west over the wolds with 9 Jays #yorkshirebirding #vismig #ukbirding

11 Redwing on Snuff Mill Lane, #Cottingham just now the East cost arrivals moving inland? #vismig

Long-tailed Skua north at Barmston #yorkshirebirding

The day cleared into a fantastic slice of autumn on the Yorkshire Wolds, with southbound Pinks and Whoopers, a SEO in from high east, and some very showy Peregrines 😍 #loveautumn #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding

Yellow browed warbler finally at Ulrome in the drizzle. Also this chap. #yorkshirebirding

The highlight of an hour to kill on the #yorkshirebirding coast this morning was this juv Sab's messing about with 28 Little Gulls 😍 Also a family of 6 Whoopers south, drake Scaup north, 2 Arctic Skuas... #ukbirding #seawatching

Number 199 for Patch was a big hole. No more! Great White Egret south at Fraisthorpe #yorkshirebirding

5 Buzzard kettling over Snuff Mill Lane #Cottingham but drifting S/SW various heights

Bearded Tits on patch! 6 birds in the tiny reedbed at Barmston. Number 198 for the patch #PWC2026 #yorkshirebirding #patchgold

Yesterday we visited RSPB Old Moor reserve. First time since 1999 I've been been beyond the VC (for meetings). Pete used to visit as a child to Wath Ings. A really lovely reserve. Female American Wigeon looked good, also Wood Sand, 4 Green Sand, Common Sand, 2 Spot Reds, 7 Ruff.

Standing in the garden pegging out the washing. 2 Skylark gently calling as they fly over. I love migration at thus time of year

First visit to St Aidan’s RSPB with my oldest yesterday. Only planned on a quick visit but ended up spending a couple of hours. Lovely reserve. Whilst watching the Cattle Egrets a Shortie flew amongst them. And had incredible views of a dozen or so Bearded Tits. #YorkshireBirding

Flamborough and then see my parents on the way back.
Had a cracking 3 hours seawatch.
Balearic Shear, LT Skua, 5 Arctics, 6 Manx, 8 Little Gulls, 30 RTDs.
Nowt on the land though.

A #SuperSeabirdSunday that isn't a gull!

About a month ago @unsociable-lapwing.bsky.social and I had a trip to @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs to see what seabirds were still around.

There were still good numbers of Northern Gannets on the cliffs.

Jay again! 3rd this year. Closest yet, within 20m of my garden. Can't see why it would actually come into the garden but that would be special. Naturally it vanished when I went for my camera

Appeared to be carrying something. Caching behaviour?
