After trawling through countless Azure Damselflies here last year and through this spring, over the moon to finally find the first Variable Damselfly for Spurn in the form of a male in Corner Field this morning. A new Yorkshire site! #Spurndamselflies @spurnbirdobs

Really nice to see this Dartford Warbler at Beddington Farmlands over the weekend. It took ages to get it to sit still though, and my hands were freezing… 🥶

Small consolation for dipping the Needletail at Scarborough was this 1st-winter Caspian Gull north past Scalby Mills at 17:00

Thought my day couldn’t get any better when I picked up a Richard’s Pipit flying south at Spurn but a few hours later I had a buzzy wagtail go south over Chalk Bank! Some discussion as to whether it’s a Citrine or an Eastern Yellow Wag, recording attached below: #spurnbirds

Very happy to see this dark morph juvenile Honey Buzzard fly SW over my @BeddingtonFarm patch yesterday. First confirmed record for the site since 2016. Mostly living and working in Yorkshire now so very lucky to have a patch tick during my limited time here.

Migfest 2025 was really fun! Red-necked Phalarope (lifer!), Cranes, Curlew Sandpipers, Garganey, Pink feet, Osprey, Arctic Skua, Tree Pipit, Redstarts, Crossbill and 000s of Meadow Pipit the highlights! Was fantastic to have such amazing company as well!

Absolutely insane views of this Red-necked Phalarope at @spurnbirdobs this afternoon. Lovely to get to share it with so many young birders and what a way to end off Migfest!!

Curious for 2nd opinions on this male Small White butterfly from The Warren at Spurn this morning. Noticeably curved wing margin, with subtle black veins running parallel with the edges of the discal spot, bringing Southern Small White/"mannii" to mind. @savebutterflies

A cloudy lunchbreak walk of Kilnsea and The Triangle was quickly brightened by finding this Wood Warbler in the treetops of Kilnsea Churchyard, eventually showing well in some stunning afternoon sunshine by the Crown and Anchor car park. #Spurnbirds @spurnbirdobs @RareBirdAlertUK

As another Swift movement kicked off this morning, this Bee-eater performed some incredible flybys and aerobatics as it toured the Warren area at Spurn, eventually heading south after a brief visit to the Driftwood area too. #Spurnbirds @spurnbirdobs
