2 great northern divers and 4 purple sandpipers made a trip to #fileybrigg worthwhile despite not clocking the black redstart. #cobwebs blown completely away too 😊
Great day down on the #humber at #welwick guiding @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social massive wader fest with peregrine hunting then male hen harrier to end the day #lovebirding @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social
Stuck for an ideal gift for a wildlife friend? @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social we have gift vouchers to use for any of my guiding days, from forests to the estuary and from nightjars to whales. All to be seen in 2026 😊
It was wet, very wet today on my @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social estuary birding day on the #humber but it doesn’t stop the thousands of knot and golden plover feeding and even 5 marsh harriers out feeding on #outstrays @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social Great clients 😊
Brilliant to see the starling murmuration at North Cave this afternoon before the rain came. Plenty if wildfowl and winter thrushes around too @yorkswildlife.bsky.social @northcavewet.bsky.social @northcavebirds.bsky.social
Not sure what to get for Christmas….then maybe a gift voucher would be ideal. It can be used to purchase one of our Birding Discovery Days or even a Seabirds and whales adventure. Head to our website www.yorkshirecoastnature.co.uk/products/cat...
Christmas sorted ✔️ 🎅 🎄
Despite poor weather conditions guiding @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social had a cracking day on the #humber Knot, grey plover top wader species, then raptor fest at #welwick 2 HHarrier, 2 SEowl, BarnOwl,Peregrine
Places still available for my next 2 days www.yorkshirecoastnature.co.uk/events/143/b...
Always great to get info about a colour ringed bird, this time a young cormorant we spotted at #welwick on my birding day @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social First ringed in the nest on the west coast of the Netherlands in May #migration @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social
Blue skies and northerly winds for annual autumnal pilgrimage to Norfolk #norfolkbirds Some good seawatching at #holme, good variety at @rspbtitchwellsnett.bsky.social and #cley YLgull, crossbills, Common scoter in large numbers the highlights . First visit to #gibraltorpoint in many years
Another great day guiding @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social on the #Humber estuary. 2 glossy ibis on the #Outstrays but hundreds of thrushes flocking in, 2 merlins chasing pipits and close up of SE owl equally as exciting #migration @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social
A weekend of guiding for @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social and @flamboroughbird.bsky.social from the #humber estuary to the great white cape. Always a pleasure to show and enjoy what this area of #yorkshire has to offer #birds
Conditions not great for passerines @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social this morning but bar tailed godwit and large number of wigeon providing interest at Beacon ponds. Much more activity on the #Humber at #Welwick marsh.4 Whooper Swan families, Pf, Barnacle and Brent geese and a host of waders #Outstrays
Final day of the season guiding @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social on our Seabird and Cetacean trips today. Finished with blue skies, minke whales and lovely clients, had a great day #whales
Migration was all about the common birds this morning on the Big White Cape @flamboroughbird.bsky.social surrounded by goldcrests and continental robins when the rain stopped. 7 goosanders and 3 RTdivers added interest over the sea #migration #lovebirding
Eagle and stint ✔️
