@gibpointbirdobs.bsky.socialReposted by @selseybirder.bsky.socialImmature SURF SCOTER south offshore at 08:50. A long overdue first record for the reserve! (And maybe Lincolnshire?) @lincsbirding.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social
@nikonbirder.bsky.socialReposted by @selseybirder.bsky.socialA few of the Brent Geese passing Selsey Bill this morning.
An amazing count of 900 storm petrels in two flocks spotted and pictured here in Lyme Bay, 20 miles south of Seaton spotted by @cardiffbirder.bsky.social on a Marinelife survey as part of the CEFAS PELTIC Research Cruise. Follow the survey here marine-life.org.uk/route/cefas-...
@markgolley.bsky.socialReposted by @selseybirder.bsky.socialEntertaining seawatch as the wind hit NW off Coastguards this PM. For a while it was quite lively, bu tailed off post 1630. Sooty Shears are always smart, one reasonably close, ditto some Manx. Best, the ranks of Brents passing by. Welcome home 🙂

@selseybirder.bsky.socialYellow-browed Warbler at church norton annoyingly elusive and mobile but has permitted a few 30s views
@selseybirder.bsky.socialYear to date 211 species, which is second highest at this point, only behind last year on 213. 155 species in September, just above average, with six additions to the year list: Cory’s Shearwater, Grey Phalarope, Wryneck, Woodlark, Gropper and Brambling.
