Bike/train to Flamborough after leaving work early for this Lapland lifer. Constantly feeding away within metres of the many passing coastal walkers. Time well spent. #yorksbirders #ukbirders

Yesterday saw a Train to Filey turn up Black tern, knot, a couple of wheatear and plenty more seabirds enjoying the wind a little more than I. Cracking Greenshank at the the dams too #yorksbirding #ukbirding

Yesterday’s weekly Spurn visit was a little on the quiet side for the recent passerine movement. A walk to the point saw some mipit and hirundine numbers moving along. Cracking views though. #yorksbirding #ukbirding

What’s Going On At Priory Meadows? It may appear to be just some grass fields, but the meadows are essential ecological spaces which need protection, our greenbelt governance correspondent Angus Young reports curiosityhull.co.uk/whats-going-... @hulllibraries.bsky.social @angusyoung61.bsky.social

Saturday spent at Spurn again and mostly at Beacon ponds with a showy pectoral sandpiper and surprise BN grebe. Yellow legged gulls at the wetlands pulled the birders away for a while #yorksbirding #ukbirding

Barred warbler showed for me at last during today’s trip to the east coast. Bempton also had plenty of flycatchers, Wheatear and Whinchat fattening up. A Red-backed shrike at Buckton and a short bike ride saw me in a field at Flamborough with the wonderful Wryneck #yorksbirding #ukbirding

A busy day for birds and birders at Spurn yesterday. I’ve never seen so many flycatchers and willow warblers but then I’m still a nipper in birding terms. Finally clapped eyes on a wood warbler. Tree pipit popped up whilst eating my sarnie in the church field. #yorksbirding #ukbirding

Morning visit to Filey brigg on Friday brought fantastic views of juvenile sanderling, Little stint and more. A first look at a common redstart for the year also. #yorksbirding #ukbirding

Finally got down to North cave wetlands and was treated to great views of the long staying Night heron. #yorkshirebirding #ukbirders

This weekend spurn visit turned up an unexpected 2nd chance at Buff-breasted sandpiper. A bird I’d been longing to see, shame about the heat haze but beggars etc #yorksbirders #ukbirding

YorkshireWarbler @yorkshirewarbler.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

First visit to Tohill low in some time produced some Good Friday birding. Wood, Green and common sands very showy. Northern rail tried ruining it but my new electric bike (bad knees) helped me home eventually

Imagine if we lived in an alternate reality where we had an event called 'Birdfair' that promoted high carbon travel in a climate emergency, and everyone shared their pictures from the event, but there were no birds, just people promoting themselves.

Birding on Saturday & Sunday inc visits to Buckton, Bempton and North Cave. First views of C. Tern, Sedge warbler and Housemartin. The wheatear’s are eluding me thus far. #yorksbirding #ukbirding

Muddy fields are all the rage this weekend

Ever increasing winds didn’t dampen a good day at Spurn yesterday. Wheatear and Firecrest were nice additions to the year list. The Firecrest at Pancho’s pond showing well for all comers #yorksbirders #ukbirding

Early finish Friday gave time to take a train/bus & walk to St Aidan’s and have a look at the beautiful Black-necked grebes assembling there. 7 of them having a right old scuffle at one point. #yorksbirding #ukbirding #lowcarbonbirding

Thornton-le-dale was was the destination, Dipper was the bird atop the list of hopefuls, Nuthatch always appreciated due the seemingly distinct lack of them in East Yorkshire #ukbirding #yorksbirding #lowcarbonbirding

Yesterday saw the 1st chiffchaff of the year at North cave wetlands. An Avocet and a pair of Mediterranean gulls amongst the other more notable sightings of the day #yorksbirding #ukbirding

Weekend trips to Filey, Bempton and North cave wetlands. Got my Purple sandpiper fix, a pair of grey partridge at exactly the same place i saw some two years ago and a solitary raven on Bempton farmland #yorksbirding #ukbirding

YorkshireWarbler @yorkshirewarbler.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Another trip to the North Yorkshire coast saw me finally break my Sanderling (wader) duck for the year. Plus i got to enjoy the Purple sands again. Never gets tiring #yorksbirding #ukbirding #lowcarbonbirding

YorkshireWarbler @yorkshirewarbler.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Great days birding yesterday at The Outstrays. Six species of geese, endless waders, harriers and short-eared. Topped of with a lovely Scaup pair.

YorkshireWarbler @yorkshirewarbler.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

Wasn’t expecting a group of Barnacle geese to turn up on “my local patch” yesterday afternoon but fantastic to see them a 20min walk away. Worth the mud bath any day #yorksbirding #ukbirding *not sure i can really class it as my local patch if i only visit once or twice a week.

Spent yesterday morning at Flamborough South beach yesterday enjoying the flybys and the beautiful barwit mingling with the oystercatcher clan #yorksbirding #ukbirding

Spent a little too much time looking for Tundra geese this weekend, to no avail. In between the wild goose chase I paid a visit to Filey Brigg, Figham common and Seamer tip pool.

YorkshireWarbler @yorkshirewarbler.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Contrasting weather at Filey yesterday. Golden and Ringed plover, Dunlin, Purple Sand amongst those on the rocks and common scoters, GN and RN divers and mallards amongst the seafarers. Oh and a legless Herring gull #yorksbirding #ukbirding

2025 UK total was 211, 2 up on the previous year. Bluethroat would have to be my best self find of the year. Looking forward to another year and whatever it may turn up.

Third time lucky with the Eastern Black redstart. After two days in the Scarborough rain the sun shone and the bird showed better than I could have hoped. What a beauty #rarebirdsUK #yorksbirding

Scenic but soggy morning in Scarborough. Where else would you rather be than a wet cemetery looking for birds (and not doing it very well).

YorkshireWarbler @yorkshirewarbler.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Post work train to Scarborough and a visit to St Mary’s church wasn’t so productive. No eastern black redstart for me today but such a wonderful bird should surely warrant a return trip. #northyorksbirding #lowcarbonbirding

Final trip of the year to Spurn turned up a few little crackers. Shore larks being one of the first birds of the day was definitely a good sign #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding #yorksbirding

Sat on the last Spurn bus of the year. Hoping for a good days birding to tide me over until next spring/summer, when hopefully they start up again 🤞🏻 #yorkshirebirding #lowcarbonbirding #ukbirding

YorkshireWarbler @yorkshirewarbler.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Belated pics of an enjoyable (but tiring) days birding at Spurn and Welwick saltmarsh. Finally came across some glossy ibis. I was starting to think I might be the only birder who'd not seen any of the influx

CO2 emissions rose by a record amount in 2024. Terrible news. Warming is already affecting birdlife on the planet negatively & the damage is accelerating. To slow it we can stop flying, drive less, eat plant-based & consume less. Spread the word, be an example, keep talking & vote Green #ukbirding

Took the trains down to Oakham yesterday to see the Baird's Sandpiper at Rutland water. Met some nice fellow birder and had a cracking brownie at the cafe. Good day off. #rarebirds #ukbirding
