Back at my favourite place today, @flamboroughbird.bsky.social , walking the Headland/Old Fall route. Quiet overall but 2 Spot Fly (sure there were more), 2 Yellow Wags, good numbers of hirundines, a Goldie and a few other bits and pieces around the headland. #eastyorksbirding

On a leave day from work, so had another trip down to @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social early doors. White-rumped Sand, Curlew Sand , Whinchat and f Pied Fly the highlights. #eastyorksbirding

A nice mellow morning at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social with a nice list of species. Missed out on the BB Sand…again! Ha! Nice bit of bling on this Curlew!#eastyorksbirding

Very late into the action (as always), but following my recent run of dips, the Long-tailed Shrike on the Glos/Oxon border stuck around long enough for me to catch up with it this morning. A cracking bird, showing well. Very happy today! ✅🐦

Just leaving Spurn when notification of a Woodchat Shrike popped up at Flamborough. Rude not to I thought, so off I went! County tick #3 in the bag today! @FlamboroughBird #eastyorksbirding @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Target bird today was Golden Oriole, with two recent sightings, Spurn was the place to try this morning. Unfortunately no luck, however two East Yorks county ticks helped with Turtle Dove and Glossy Ibis . @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #eastyorksbirding

#swinemoor Garganey pair are still on site, together with 2 Redshank, 2 LRP, Oystercatcher and a number of horses that looked like they had a good time down the pub last night. #patchbirding #PWC2026 #eastyorksbirding

#swinemoor again really quiet & very windy. Nothing to shout about today with 2 Greenshank, redshank and 2 Avocet. Also saw a bird on the ground that ended up being a Galah that I eventually rescued and now with owner! Site tick??!! Ha! #patchbirding #PWC2026 #eastyorksbirding

Returned from Northern Ireland and back on to a very quiet #Swinemoor with a single Greenshank, 2 Redshank and an Oystercatcher. A new patch bird for me were two EgyptianGeese. Need some more rain now! Pleeeeeaaasssseeeee! #patchbirding #PWC2026 #eastyorksbirding
