Super happy to find a Golden Oriole at the Point today @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social!! Been wanting to find a good bird here all spring and it finally happened 😍😍 It shared a bush with a Fieldfare at one point too 😮 #birds #birding #PWC2025

Was really happy to find the Purple Sandpiper on the Breach this morning at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social, you rarely see summer-plumaged birds in the UK and it’s safe to say this one showed quite well 😍😍 #birds #birding #NaturePhotography #birdsphotography #PWC2025

The radio message of a Nightjar at Chalk Bank at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social had me racing down the peninsula on my bike to catch a glimpse of this cryptic species during the daytime, the first one l've ever seen in sunlight ☀️👀 #birds #birding #naturephotography #PWC2025 #BirdsSeenIn2025

Woke up this morning to a radio message of @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social’s 5th ever Melodious Warbler singing at Chalk Bank! A nervy 40 minute bike ride was rewarded with some excellent views of this little gem #birds #birding #pwc2025

My first month and a half of volunteering at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social have flown by! I’ve loved meeting all the other volunteers and sharing my passion for birds. Seen some really amazing birds too like Cory’s Shearwater, 2 Bee-eaters, Red-rumped Swallow, 7 Cranes, Temminck’s Stint and more! #birds

Photo of the Male Hawfinch at Spurn yesterday 😍 - still cannot believe how confiding he was. I don’t think I’ll get another Hawfinch experience like this in the UK for a long time. @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdsseenin2025 #nature #naturephotography

I thought Hawfinch views like this were impossible in the UK!! 🤯🤯 Genuinely the most confiding male Hawfinch I’ve ever seen/heard of in the UK at Spurn today. Still feeling giddy with excitement 45 minutes after seeing him! #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdsseenin2025 #nature #naturephotography

Really nice day with @bc-s.bsky.social yesterday going to twitch the Black Scoter at Hoylake, I was expecting it to be pretty distant so when it came within ~50 metres of me I was pretty happy 😅 #birds #birding #birdsseenin2025 #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography

Black Scoter showed amazingly close at Hoylake this morning with @bc-s.bsky.social, at its closest point it was maybe 50-70 metres out, no wind and amazing light too 😍 @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #birds #birding #birdsseenin2025

One week before I was set to start my position as a spring volunteer for Spurn Bird Observatory, my first ever volunteering position in wildlife conservation after finishing college last year. I was so excited, what great fucking luck I have 😭😭😭

Nice to see 4 Serins at Sandwich Bay today, especially since they weren’t too skittish and kept returning to the same patch of brambles. My first Serins for the UK ✅ #birds #birding #birdphotography #BirdsSeenIn2025 #naturephotography
