I haven’t posted on this site for a while, just a few retweets for the good folk of Spurn, etc. Twitter was a great platform, ‘X’ isn’t, so I’m closing this account soon.
Like a lot of birders, I’m now over on Bluesky. It’s a nicer place at the moment, so why not give it a try?

Schipper's Field looking inviting this morning. Our fantastic residential volunteers and local supporters have been planting some trees in recent weeks, and of course, Friends of Spurn are welcome to access the site and see progress via the mown footpath. Enjoy! 🌿

Asian Dowitcher - one of the key birds to see in Mongolia - moves like a sewing machine when feeding. May 2021.

@Mongoliabirding Fantastic. Certainly one of the highlights (and there were many!) of our trip last spring.
