After decades of hope, finally nailed Red-veined Darter at Bempton RSPB Reserve today! Of course a scorching male, and constitutes first reserve record! Also a reserve 3rd record of Black-tailed Skimmer, an immature male. Hopefully more to come over the week ahead 🙏🏼

Pulses of incoming migrants last few days at Bempton. Wandering the cliff top grasses and scrub producing exciting birding. Huge numbers of largely thrushes & starlings. Lap & Snow Bunts, WRails, Woodcock, finches, owls, geese & a fit little Siberian Chiff today! #moretocome

This young Gannet (guga) will likely leave Bempton early Nov! Latest ones include 05 & 15 Nov. Fifty-nine Whoopers passed in-off over cliffs, some giving great close views! 150+ yesterday. The Bluetail for its 12th day continues to please many visitors.

At Bempton RSPB, the Bluetail showed from 10.30ish to 18.00 for many happy observers today. Mostly in the Dell in flight, posing perched up and even had time to sunbathe! Was later seen later Pallas’s Patch later in day. A Little Bunting earlier was a bonus!

Perfect timing as I arrived at Bempton this morning just minutes after @BirderRich found the Red-flanked Bluetail! Then saw his next find, a Dusky Warbler on cliff top!! Sharp guy! Some good padders to on back of a jam-packed cascade of migrants yesterday!

At Bempton today a poop sample from the ‘Daurianesque’ Shrike was successfully secured by warden Dave Aitken! Soon to be winging its way to @docmartin2mc for DNA analysis. Will update with result when completed 👍🏼 (nature trail image from Saturday)
