Great weekend at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social for #migfest25 fantastic red neck phalarope and finished with the Crane on the way home.

Whinchat and black red start in Withensea #migfest25

Great day at @tophilllow.bsky.social and Hornsea mere on the way to @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social. RC pochard, curlew sand, little stint, black tern, little gull, hobby & 5x marsh harrier the highlights. Great start to the weekend #migfest25

Nice surprise this lunchtime in Rufforth. I've never seen a grass snake this big. They look huge when they're all stretched out.

Great morning at St Aidens. Garganey, pectoral sandpiper, little stint (just visible in the picture) and loads more. @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Just gone to buy my migfest ticket @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social and seen they're sold out!!! I've managed to book accommodation and even a table at the Crown. Doh. If anyone knows of any spare tickets going I'd be super grateful for a message. @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Presumed leucistic blackbird unless I'm missing something crazy!! Looks like two different birds in the light. Any ideas welcomed? @yorkbirding.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Beautiful calling tree pipit near York @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Single tree pipet at Strensall Common. Constantly singing and displaying between two trees and a stocking mistle thrush @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Garden warbler and lesser whitethroat still singing today on the bridle path between Knapton and Rufforth @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Lesser whitethroat and garden warbler on patch at Knapton/Rufforth. I didn't have either on patch last year, so really pleased @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Great views of a lesser whitethroat at Flamborough this morning at Highcliffe Manor. At least 4 different birds present. Excuse the terrible phone video! 2 whimbrel still on south landing beach and barn owl hunting over the fields @northyorksbirds.bsky.social @flamboroughbird.bsky.social

Amazing view of this huge hare this morning in York.

Song thrush this morning. No better song on a mornings walk. Lots of blackcap and willow warbler back on patch in Rufforth/Knapton @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Handy guide for pipit identification.

FREE scope with stay on case, 20-60x eyepiece and tripod as pictured to any young birder just starting out only. Pick up only or meet if not too far. #NEbirding, @durhambirdclub.bsky.social,@ntbirdclub.bsky.social

A pair of blue tits sorting their nest kept me entertained for over an hour this lunch time at Rufforth. Lots of yellowhammer and skylarks around. Fly over shellduck was a nice surprise. @yorkbirding.bsky.social

We have frog spawn!! #spring #frogs #pondlife

American Wigeon showing extremely well in East Cottingwith, York. Egyptian goose and loads of pink feet still around too @nybirdnews.bsky.social @yorkbirding.bsky.social

It pays to do Wordle on the train home from work #wordle

Enjoyed watching the black necked grebes at St Aidens this weekend. Good to see them in their different plumage. Water pipit showed well. Marsh harrier and Cettis also showing well. @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Single chiffchaff at Rufforth this lunchtime. First for the year for me. Also had 5 red kites together and at least 6 buzzards @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Another view @yorkbirding.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

Another great murmuration in Acomb, York. It drew in quite a crowd tonight @yorkbirding.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #starlings #murmuration #birds

Starlings in York. Terrible quality video but an amazing experience. Thanks @birdingcyclist.bsky.social for the tips @nybirdnews.bsky.social @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Does anyone know where the starlings roast near acomb/clifton in York? I've seen large numbers flying over Boroughbridge Rd but not sure where they are settling @yorkbirding.bsky.social

How different birds would act on a first date...a thread. (From us to you this #ValentinesDay) 💕👇

Mega garden first today. MOORHEN. Pic taken out of the office window.

Woodcock again at Rufforth tip. 6x bullfinch together, GSW, sparrowhawk in a quick hour over lunch. @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Nice few hours at the @ldvnnr.bsky.social 3x smew still present. I was pleased to pick out the white fronted geese in a huge flick of grey lag and a tank of a caspian gull. Scaup also still present at Wheldrake. @yorkbirding.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

We left a pair of Swarovski NL 10x42 on top of the car at East Chevington, Northumberland yesterday and then stupidly walked away, 5 minutes later we realised then returned but they were gone, I know it's a long shot but nobody on here picked them up and are trying to return them?

Got excited when this popped up this morning with an extensive collar, but too much colour on the chest for a sibe. Woodcock, plenty of snipe and little egret at Rufforth @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Tawny owl, plenty of snipe and a flock of teal over the tip at Rufforth. Also saw 2 hares, 2 deer and a fox this evening. @yorkbirding.bsky.social

This reminded me of the time I thought I saw a barn owl sat on a post. Got the bins on it and it turned out to be a lady sat on a bench wearing a white bobble hat.

At least one Caspain gull still present at Rufforth. GBBG too. 3x red kite and jay. @yorkbirding.bsky.social
