It was wet, very wet today on my @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social estuary birding day on the #humber but it doesn’t stop the thousands of knot and golden plover feeding and even 5 marsh harriers out feeding on #outstrays @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social Great clients 😊

Spectacular afternoon sunshine in the @ldvnnr.bsky.social following a biblical downpour, on our @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social Wetlands birding day. A smart Peregrine landed nearby, having flushed thousands of waders and ducks from the flooded ings. Friday feeling!

I spent all last week guiding many lovely clients at the mighty Spurn Bird Observatory, and it was as thrillingly migration-fuelled as ever. More here: northernrustic.blogspot.com/2025/10/guid...

Another great day guiding @yorkscoastnature.bsky.social on the #Humber estuary. 2 glossy ibis on the #Outstrays but hundreds of thrushes flocking in, 2 merlins chasing pipits and close up of SE owl equally as exciting #migration @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social
