Glad I persevered during the tempest 🌊 and checked around the Point at S Devon's #HopesNose this morning. Even better when Mike P and Keith M got on the 5 #LittleGulls too. Mike P's top photos from a memorable visit 👍. #DevonBirds #UKBirding @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

There were 2 #BlackRedstarts at S Devon's #HopesNose this morning. An imm m & an imm/fem were on the south side together, with much chasing and interaction. Increasingly mobile and elusive, they had melted away by early lunchtime. Mike P's lovely photos 👍. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

1 of 3 #PurpleSandpipers at S Devon's #HopesNose this morning. First of the 🍂 autumn there, and incredibly, likely arrived from the arctic or subarctic. Should be in the vicinity for at least the next 6 months. Amazing. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #Migration #birds

Having been mobile and elusive during the late morning, it was a surprise when this #Wryneck flew in and gave fantastic views to the small group of birders standing nearby. A memorable encounter at Devon's #HopesNose. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Very pleased to find my 2nd site #Wryneck at Devon's #HopesNose this morning. It showed briefly at 10.25, 10.55, 11.05, before giving itself up at c13.30 on the south side. Stunning bird. 👍. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds @wildweevils.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Some of the 97 #Kittiwakes sat on just the W side of the Lead Stone/Flat Rock at Devon's #HopesNose early this morning. An unusual sight there. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

#Whimbrel on a Wednesday! This bird was 1 of 4 at Devon's #HopesNose on Monday morning. I've enjoyed watching them come through this spring. 10 flew NE over Groyne 7 at #DawlishWarren late morning yesterday too. @warrenbirding.bsky.social #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

Hide and seek with 2 of 4 passage #Whimbrel at Devon's #HopesNose this morning. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

The mild coastal climate and the autumnal cutting back of bracken, is starting to produce a great early display of #Bluebells on the lower slope at Devon's #HopesNose. #Phenology

Yes - a good morning at Devon's #HopesNose with @markrabailey.bsky.social. The Yellow Wag just my 3rd for the site - another good bird for the Point! Disappointed to miss the Arctic Tern - that's seawatching! 2 Purple Sandpipers too 😂. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

A #Whimbrel near Sandy Point at Devon's #HopesNose. One of ten seen there this morning. Another indicator of the advancing spring. #Phenology #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

More of the cracking #CornBunting at Devon's #HopesNose on Monday afternoon. As expected, a one-day wonder. Hoping that it's not 30 years until the next one! #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

Pleased to find a #CornBunting in the afternoon ☀️ sunshine at Devon's #HopesNose today. A rare bird in the county and the first for the site since Nov '94. #DevonBirds #UKBirding. With @backwardbirder.bsky.social @markrabailey.bsky.social @stephmurphy.bsky.social @robmurphy.bsky.social

As a #BlackRedstart fanatic, I was pleased that @robmurphy.bsky.social found this bird at Devon's #PrawlePoint this morning. I'm lucky to see this species regularly at #HopesNose, but this was my first Ad male since 17th November. A real corker! #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds
