Black faced bunting today! @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social #spurnbirds #ukrarebirds #yorkshirebirding

Something to lift the spirits after chasing the white throated needletail up the length of the east coast!

Not my wisest idea going birding in sand dunes in 40 mph winds but was worth it with greater short toed lark, 1st winter red backed shrike and arctic skua!

Crazy day yesterday did far to much driving, but finally caught up with a collard pratincole and the ortolan bunting with a supporting cast of honey buzzard and turtle dove!! @rspbframptonmarsh.bsky.social #ukbirding

Still my favourite strand line discovery to date - a female Phronima sedentaria (‘monster in a barrel’) - Isles of Scilly, October 2023!

An amphipod crustacean, she parasitises salps, devouring them from the inside, forming a vessel to raise her young 👽
