Brilliant adventure to Spurn Point, Yorkshire's land's end, where the North Sea meets the Humber Estuary. Spurn Lighthouse is a huge part of Spurn's history. Many lives have been saved since becoming operational in 1852 & currently after it ceased being actively manned in 1985

This group of dunlin were edging closer and closer up the beach as the tide pushed the waves further and further in. It was so cute watching some of them hopping around on one leg as the waves interrupted their rest and then seeing them bury their heads into their feathers again

Red kite soaring over the obs today at Spurn. In awe of the passage of swifts south in their hundreds at the moment

A little bit of bread and no cheese! Spotted redshank in breeding plumage at Kilnsea Wetlands and a little owl on farming equipment #spurnbirds

15th June - 2 cranes at Spurn! Such graceful birds, it was funny to see them fly in front of an industrial crane in the distance!

Spurn spoonbills!

This cute mallard duckling and several others were spending lots of time catching many damselflies which they were really good at catching. So many damselflies in one area too 🌷🦆🌾#brigsteerwetlands #cumbria

Highlights from a local fell walk 🥾 #cumbriabirds

This wren was missing some feathers, bless it, lovely to see it perched on this branch and singing though!

Wow! Amazing to see an Osprey over Lake Windermere diving to catch fish yesterday morning. The osprey showed persistence despite being mobbed by gulls and corvids #cumbriabirds #borranspark

Mute swan #lakewindermere

Great to see 5 Shelduck (2nd record) and the lingering Garden Warbler at Borrans Park this morning #cumbriabirds
