Don’t hesitate to join this year’s University Week! 🔭 I came away with friends for life and it provides an excellent introduction to life at a bird observatory!
Don’t hesitate to join this year’s University Week! 🔭 I came away with friends for life and it provides an excellent introduction to life at a bird observatory!
Whimbrels are pushing through the island in good numbers now with a recent count of 46 in recent days! Their seven note call is becoming a familiar sound on my walk back to the LSA every night #BardseyBirds
Was nice albeit unexpected to see a Waxwing last week here on Bardsey, a scarce bird for the island! Been great seeing them arrive last autumn at Spurn, enjoy them in Kent in the winter and now on their return #BardseyBirds
MIGFEST 2024 Tickets are on sale and selling fast! Join us on the 6th - 8th September for one of the highlights of the birding calendar and take in the amazing spectacle of bird migration at one of the best migration hotspots in the UK! Buy tickets here; buff.ly/3UNiCpP
With Bar-tailed Godwit migration underway across the country, we joined in on the action at Bardsey with three on the South End! One of which was sporting its summer finery 🔥 Making for an excellent comparison between two other winter-plumaged birds #BardseyBirds
Massive thank you to the @TheSeabirdGroup for helping support my time at @bardseyobs!! It’s been amazing so far, filled with Manx Shearwaters, Fulmars, Gull colonies and so many Auks! 🌊

There was a nice arrival of Wheatears throughout the day, up to 118 were across Bardsey by the evening! The majority of birds were the very smart Greenland race, making a fun afternoon counting them as they arrived!
Yesterday there was a decent fall of migrants across Bardsey! 🔭 214 Blackcap, 248 Willow Warbler, 27 Chiffchaff (one Siberian), Firecrest, 20 Redwing, three Tree Pipit were logged. Also two Pied Flycatchers, including this male hunting from a sheltered cliffside #BardseyBirds
Goldcrests are still migrating through Bardsey this spring! Including this one taking shelter in a cove on the cliffside, fresh in-off the sea! #BardseyBirds
Nice to find this Grasshopper Warbler reeling away in the South End bushes! This prompted a thorough search which yielded two Firecrests and five Willow Warblers for good measure #BardseyBirds
BARDSEY HOOPOE!!! 💥
With migrants piling into the country, it was only a matter of time before something turned up at Bardsey! This afternoon Ed and Kate struck gold finding this Hoopoe!!!🔥 It played hard to get, regularly disappearing on the Mountain, top bird! #BardseyBirds
It was great to confirm breeding with this pair of Choughs, as part of the monitoring work we do at Bardsey One of which is colour ringed, returning for at least its eighth year, providing useful data about these birds!
As the season progresses there's been a steady passage of early migrants passing through the island! Great to see tens of Wheatears, a few White Wagtails, increasing numbers of Chiffchaffs, Willow Warblers and Blackcaps. Plus our first Sandwich Tern of the spring! 🔭
The overwintering Purple Sandpipers are still frequenting Bardsey Island in good numbers! Up to 54 were counted recently giving point blank views, enough to appreciate their purple hues in detail!
Calm easterlies produced a nice movement of Finches and Meadow Pipits across the island moving south! Up to 172 Meadow Pipits inc. 90 in half hour, also 160 Goldfinch, 53 Siskin, 11 Linnet, 4 Lesser Redpoll. Warblers joined the passage with 21 Blackcaps and 11 Chiffchaffs 🔭
Straight to work since the days we arrived! Birds migrating through with movements of Chiffchaff, Goldcrest, Hirundines and our first few Willow Warblers! 🔭 This pollen-covered Blackcap was a nice bird to ring this afternoon, just after Kate and I finished our work!
My home for the next few months as a the spring volunteer for Bardsey Bird Observatory! Bring on the season with a brilliant team 💚🔭

@_jdbirder @birdsinwales @RareBirdAlertUK love the one carrying a leather-jacket!
A bird I've been wanting to find for years, and it finally happened today. After a long, quiet walk in the dunes, I went to Elm House Farm to check fences for chats. Just as I got there, this Wryneck flew up from the track edge and landed next to my car! @RareBirdAlertUK
A smart Dotterel found by Craig this afternoon and our first Sedge Warbler of the year takes the islands year list to 141, it’s been a good couple of days, with more to come hopefully.
This was by far my favourite stick of the pile @spurnbirdobs. Thank you @msabirder for letting us view in your garden.
Some really lovely sticks at @spurnbirdobs, absolutely worth the visit.
Great to see some classic spring migrants on @FI_Obs over the last couple of days with Pied Flycatchers and Ring Ouzels on the cliffs a stunning female Hawfinch in the traps and some cracking male Redstarts in the crofts adding some colour ! Class birding!!
Decent few hours at Dunge from 6.30am - 3 Pomarine Skuas, 5 Arctic Skuas, Bonxie, 249 Common Scoter, 7 RT Diver, 3 Barwits, 11 Whimbrel, 2 Little Tern, 170 Gannet, 7 Kittiwake with @a1virginia and a good crowd in and out of the hide!!! @DungenessBO
Although it's been a bumper year for Wheatear on the Hill, with another 16 this morning, generally migrants have been thin on the ground! So it was a pleasant surprise to find this dapper Whinchat this morning! Always a handsome bird to see in the spring! #SoilHillBirding
Back from wintering in Germany (via Cley, Norfolk) and sat on her nest at Scorton in North Yorkshire today!
Meeting in Surrey today, so I visited a part of my newly adopted ad-hoc patch beforehand. Highlight being 2 hawfinch. Other highlights were cuckoo, garden wabler and 7 willow warblers.
Nice to visit a wood that still has some specialist woodland species
At least 54 Whimbrel on the northern saltmarsh at Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes NNR yesterday evening, with a few more also scattered across local wet grassland. An underrated bird, and one of my favourites @waderquest
Nice to catch another Whimbrel last night alongside a Com Sand, 2 Purp Sands, 3 Oycs, 6 Wheatears and a Moorhen!
Perfect conditions last night on Bardsey for dazzling resulted in 13 Whimbrels, 5 Ringed Plovers, a Purple Sandpiper, an Oystercatcher and 2 Greenland Wheatears being caught! @bardseyobs
Dover; This Osprey circled up over the Eastern Docks today just before 1pm, seen from Fox hill down (Langdon cliffs) little else to report.
Enjoyable cycle through the Welsh hills yesterday afternoon. Glad I took my bins and camera as there was lots of birds about! Wood Wabler, several singing Pied Flycatchers, Redstarts, Whinchats and a pair of Ring Ouzels! Cold though! 🥶🚴
