Scored #nocmig gold on my 2nd recording for the season in Keyingham, East Yorkshire - Bittern! One of 2 calls picked up at about 1.20am this morning. Black-headed Gull, Curlew, Redwing, Starling and Ringed Plover among other species recorded through the night. #yorksbirds
@harris_sjh @spurnbirdobs Mega opportunity, I'll definitely be applying next year!
We are really please to have @_jdbirder as our spring intern this year and @ewan_turner23 with us again for the autumn. With @EdJBetteridge returning for his 3rd yr @birdingfox as our new assistant & @bbfo_warden for his 27th year at the helm - it’s should be a great year.
Quick – apply before the deadlines from 11 February for opportunities in CJS Focus on #volunteering. Short dates from @lochlomonds Youth Committee, @YorksWildlife, @umhverfis in Iceland. Long term volunteer with @N_T_S, @spurnbirdobs Take a look now at c-js.co.uk/CJSFocus
Latest annual report from Spurn (with fab @DarrenNWoodhead cover) is a weighty tome packed with information on Britain's most dynamic bird observatory (well probably..)
Didn’t manage to visit @spurnbirdobs in 2023 but looking forward to reading this which arrived this morning as part of my Friends of Spurn Membership - looks superb. Will def be there in 2024.
Nice weekend back @spurnbirdobs volunteering, my first time seeing it in snow. Sadly no black-throated thrush at tophill low on the way home but a lifer instead in the form of these two Smew 252.
First day on the new job! Absolutely buzzing! Wish me luck. 😁🙌
WRYNECK, BARRED & ICTERINE WARBLER – the most difficult commission I have done, scene from several decades ago at Spurn in Yorkshire on the old parade ground at the point, after a fall of migrants, done from a quick verbal description. W'col on Arches paper @spurnbirdobs #birdart
A smaller total than I hoped for with 55 species but still had a pleasant day covering a bit of the Spurn area on the #MichaelCleggBirdRace, highlights including a Woodcock, 8 Snow Buntings south past Middle Camp and 15 Eiders "out east" over Borrow Pit. #spurnbirds @spurnbirdobs
The Humber Games are on 46 species by 9am with some tricky ones in the bag. A good start! Donate here - gofund.me/6532b2eb #MichaelCleggBirdRace @SBO_Jason @CharlotteFoote5 @wathingsmecca
In just over 4 months, Spurn well and truly delivered with 150+ species for me in 2023. A few highlights/lifers included Great Snipe, Rough-legged Buzzard, my 1st Nuthatch for the area, Red-eyed Vireo, Coues' Arctic Redpoll and the very brief Upland Sandpiper. @spurnbirdobs (1/2)
Exciting news from our #Motus tower of a Northern Wheatear - tagged in Heliogoland on August 28th 2023. It travelled south, pinging Wenduine, Belgium on the 30th, before passing Dungeness at c3.40am on the same day. It was around the Obs for 15/20 minutes. @birdobs_council
Spending my day off missing the snow buntings at @spurnbirdobs so I’m using them for watercolour practice! Thank you to @BethClyne for the photo ❤️
@spurnbirdobs Well done Rob & the Little Tern gang 👏🏻🍾🎉
Tremendous work by a dedicated team
Massive congratulations to @spurnbirdobs, winner of the Humber Nature Partnership 2023 Award for their fantastic work with the Little Tern Colony at Kilnsea.
