One of 5 Spoonbills on site at Gibraltar Point today. Fairly quiet elsewhere. Also a CR Whooper Swan, white ring, right leg, code either ABA/A8A. 4 Med Gulls too including a 2CY bird. 20 Whimbrel north at high tide this evening. 186 species for the year @PatchBirding
Three traps, 66/19sp recorded with this Pinion Spotted Pug being the absolute star of the show at Gibraltar Point this morning. Possibly first for NNR and the best looking Pug moth I’ve ever seen. 979/85sp now recorded this year at the reserve. #teammoth #mothsmatter
It’s all action in the sanctuary now, with little terns and ringed plovers more actively displaying and scraping as the weather warms up. We also have good numbers of other waders building as they pass through to their arctic breeding grounds. 📸: Little Tern by @samgod96
Like London busses… the three Cranes came back to Gibraltar Point! Can’t believe my luck, and thankfully got better views and photos today as they bugled their way back to Norfolk. 24 hours after I’d first seen them, and having been seen in North Lincs and Yorks… Mental!!
3 Common cranes spotted flying north over Harvey’s hide at Gibraltar Point this afternoon! Photographed though my binoculars 😁 @LWTWildNews
Absolutely shocking record shot but 3 Cranes north over the freshwater marsh at Gibraltar Point were a cracking addition to the year list- not to mention a full fat lifer! Generally quiet otherwise, with at least 5 Spoonbill and single Arctic and Common Tern at Tennyson’s
Following on from the previous post, the shorebird team are now seeing Little Terns daily, with a small number remaining for a few days showing display, alarm and territorial behaviour. Yesterday’s count included 9 ‘local’ birds with flocks of 19 + 15 migrating through.
Quieter moth trap at Gib Point this morning but this Flame Shoulder was NFY. Smart moths and always one I enjoy seeing my first of in the year. Also 3 late Hebrew Characters. Will have another go tonight… #teammoth #mothsmatter
3 traps out last night, and rewards for us in each of them. Lesser Swallow Prominent in my trap, one of my favourites. Also trapped were Seraphim (mega rare here) and the first Ruby Tigers of the year. 61/18 with lots NFY. #teammoth #mothsmatter
Huge day in the sanctuary at Gib today so glad I went with @stuarta21 to Anderby Marsh last night to see the female Woodchat Shrike that’s lingered for a week. Showed superbly. Shrikes must be one of the best bird families seen in the UK, surely? @Lincsbirding @LWTWildNews
An amazing day for the shorebird team yesterday as the first two ringed plover nests were located! The work really does start now. This also coupled in with the return of the Little Terns over the weekend- more to come on them soon. 📸 taken under license.
Good start to the day at Gibraltar Point as a drake Garganey was found- last seen flying towards the north end of Tennyson’s Sands. 182nd species of the year for me here. 246 points for @PatchBirding !
The old adage ‘rain brings rares’ strikes again! Plenty to be seen around site today as the rain eased with two year ticks for myself being Whinchat and Black Redstart. 181/244 for @PatchBirding and still some easy birds to come. Race to 200 is on!
A green-winged theme to the day today as working offsite provided my first green-winged orchids before a green-winged teal was found late afternoon at Gib! Thankfully it stuck for me, #178 for the Gib year list @PatchBirding @LWTWildNews
Fairly quiet on site at Gib Point today- two year ticks being Reed Warbler and Tree Pipit. Otherwise the most notable was the ‘local’ Whimbrel which now seems to have paired with a Curlew. How strange…
Ospreys are cracking birds, this one flying west over the west dunes was just the second I’ve seen here at Gibraltar Point this year. A nice opportunity to practice a bit of digiscoping too! @LWTWildNews
Lovely to guide a walk at Gibraltar Point this morning, with around 25 people turning out in pretty torrid conditions (thank you!!). Species included singing Redstart, 2 Grasshopper Warbler (video), Whimbrel, 15 Avocet and Black-tailed Godwit and an exceptionally brief Cuckoo.
Birding was far from my thoughts this morning but the rain brought a scattering of migrants including a Brambling and this absolute corker of a Hawfinch. Really smart bird, only the second one I’ve seen here at Gibraltar Point this year. @LWTWildNews @Lincsbirding @InstaBirders
Action is slow in the sanctuary at the moment as the weather has dropped cold, however the shorebird team are still seeing territorial battles, scraping and mating going on. With the first clutch last year being on the 23/4, it can’t be long before the first clutch arrives!
A Bonxie flying south and then into the Wash was the highlight of today’s birding at Gibraltar Point but this Sanderling gave it a good run for its money! Strutting with purpose around the tide line as the tide came in. Just starting to hint at moult too, should look smart soon!

@samgod96 Snap. In Norfolk on Saturday evening.
Spoonbill come to say hi at Harvey’s hide on Friday! The one I’m mostly focusing on in the video is pruning it’s breeding plumage, hence the fancy hairdo… There’s also a little egret that wanted to join in towards the back 📸: IPhone through a scope
Started out a peaceful day in the Peak District with uni friends, turned into a mad dash down to Bucks for the Alpine Accentor! Big thanks to @WayneGlossop2 for the scope views as I had no optics!
It’s all action in the sanctuary now, with little terns and ringed plovers more actively displaying and scraping as the weather warms up. We also have good numbers of other waders building as they pass through to their arctic breeding grounds. 📸: Little Tern by @samgod96
3 Common cranes spotted flying north over Harvey’s hide at Gibraltar Point this afternoon! Photographed though my binoculars 😁 @LWTWildNews
Better luck this evening as the Purple Heron flew off north past me, makes up for the quality of the previous video. @Sandwichbirdobs
Superb day @RSPBFrampton with great weather ☀️☀️. Thanks to all the friendly, informative staff & also @samgod96 5 lifers including Black-winged Stilt, Lesser Yellowlegs, Yellow Wagtail, Spotted Redshank, & Little Gull. #TwitterNaturePhotography #BirdsSeenIn2024 #natures_voice
@samgod96 @PatchBirding 182 very impressive Sam, when I did the Lincs yearlist attempt in '16 that was the number I was on at this date (+ a few sub sp) and that was whole county. 👍
Following on from the previous post, the shorebird team are now seeing Little Terns daily, with a small number remaining for a few days showing display, alarm and territorial behaviour. Yesterday’s count included 9 ‘local’ birds with flocks of 19 + 15 migrating through.
At least 3 very showy Cuckoo’s this morning during Raptor surveys. Not a species I see this well that often!
From the MV in Belper last night. Puss Moth, Scalloped Hazel, Mullein and Purple Thorn @DerwentBirder @Mightychub @DanielCMartin1 @CliveAshton5 @SpinneyBirder @DaNES_Insects #teammoth
After a brief encounter on the corral, leaving us both stunned, the Wryneck flew into nearby trees and then disappeared. The chat search was also a success, with a stunning male Whinchat 100m up the track! Not often a plan comes together... @RareBirdAlertUK
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
An amazing day for the shorebird team yesterday as the first two ringed plover nests were located! The work really does start now. This also coupled in with the return of the Little Terns over the weekend- more to come on them soon. 📸 taken under license.
Headed off patch for an hour this evening with @samgod96 to catch up with the Woodchat Shrike at Anderby Creek. Fair to say we were treated to some great views 😍 @Lincsbirding
A visit to Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes NNR after the rain finally ceased. It started well with a Wood Sandpiper at Sea View. The bushes, however, were disappointingly quiet, but 23 Wheatear on the saltings were a good way to finish @RareBirdAlertUK
