Dusky Warbler Spurn BO Garden 23 October 2026. 1344hrs Presumably the bird ringed 201026. Part of its circuit includes the local gardens around the Obs and the Crown & Anchor PH. Perhaps a slightly better recording than my earlier effort? #Spurnbirds
Hume's Warbler 22-10-26 Early morning at Chalkey Point bushes, Kilnsea for its third day. The recent strong winds didn't make things easy during the first two days but it finally showed well for me in the morning sunshine and was quite vocal. Spurn NR #Spurnbirds
Dusky Warbler Cliff Farm, Kilnsea 21 October 2026. 0924hrs Seen and heard in the NW corner of the garden. The bird had been ringed yesterday across the road in Church Field and had been quite elusive. #Spurnbirds

I received the sad news that Ian Forsyth passed away yesterday morning. Although he was ill it came as a shock to everyone. Ian will be well known to many birders in Yorkshire, particularly through his links to Tophill Low in the 70s - 90s as recorder and his work with the YNU.

Spurn, Easington Lagoons. Pectoral Sandpiper - been around for a few days. Wow! A beast of a bird in the flesh.
Reserves manager Aidan was on BBC Look East last night with a clear warning about the impact of dogs off leads on nature, livestock and people. The piece featured stories from volunteers and the public about distressing dog incidents they have witnessed at Pegsdon Hills reserve in Bedfordshire.
Sõrve Bird Observatory, Estonia. Only one way to celebrate yesterday’s 18 Lesser Spotted Eagles and that’s with a piece of delicious cake. Gorgeous Honey Buzzard just gone over.
FIRECREST: Spurn, East Yorkshire early morning 020525 - close to the old Blue Bell pub. Singing its heart out. If you can't love a fire-capped king you ain't got no soul. A real beauty. @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social

UK’s first Stilt Sandpiper: 1954, Yorkshire, Kilnsea, adult, 31st August to 4th September. A mere 70yrs later, almost to the day, Mr. John Hewitt gets his just reward. It seems lightning can strike twice! The crowd at Spurn’s second Stilt Sand.
