Yesterday was #WorldSeabirdDay, which I spent guiding my final Puffin & Seabird Specials at the mighty #Flamborough Head.
We had the privilege of watching this Puffling exploring the outside world for the first time. Good luck, little one... (1/2)

Relaxing few hours back at #Filey today with a mix of fresh-in migrants - Grasshopper Warbler (Long Lane), Common Redstart (Long Hedge), Reed Warbler (Dams) all firsts-of-the-year, plus twos of Cetti's and Sedge Warblers, also at the Dams.

Back surveying on the Humber at KG Dock in the east of #Hull today, where (despite disturbance) the riverside wasteland can be a good spot for Snipe - two each of Jack and Common today. The Jacks both sat tight, such a joy to find (and to leave undisturbed).

Sparrowhawk gets a meal. 9 blackbirds have been feeding in our garden while snow has been on the ground. There are now only 8. This male sparrowhawk is not a great deal bigger than the blackbird, which he eventually flew off with. Holmfirth, West Yorks #ukbirding #yorksbirds

Spot the #Hull #Gannet (easier if you're on board the docked ferry!) - one of 20 we had - as well as seven Little Auks, from incidental obs 1130-1445 at Saltend while conducting other surveys. We're well upstream here, so it was pleasing to get some stormy seabird action...

One of the five Siskins that came into our Holmfirth, West Yorkshire garden yesterday. It's very snowy here and we are getting more birds than usual on our feeders. These lovely little birds are garden visitors we only get a couple of times a year. #ukbirding #yorksbirds

On the northern patch, at least 11 vocal Twite were among Linnets on the outskirts of Keyingham, East Yorks this morning and later on yesterday's 1W Caspian Gull made a passing appearance in Hull, heading west/southwest along the Humber. #yorksbirds #hullbirds @birdguides.bsky.social

Had a few of these on the outskirts of the village in the past couple of years but this lone Twite was a fantasic surprise garden tick for Keyingham, East Yorks this morning, calling a few times before it was soon lost behind the rooftops heading west. #yorksbirds @patchbirding.bsky.social

Another scan of Hull's gulls yesterday produced this intriguing Common Gull. Seemingly a normal Canus on the deck but displaying Heinei-like features to the wings in flight, including small P9 mirrors and black band on P5. Perhaps a more Eastern/intergrade type? #yorksbirds
