One of the lovely Snow Buntings that spent a few days at Filey Brigg in the recent cold weather...

Looking at me, looking at you... Woodcock on Carr Naze, Filey this morning (it had shuffled round when I looked again on my return walk) and three of eight Snow Buntings - 07-01-2025 @FileyBirdObs @nybirdnews

Pleased to finally get chance to catch up with the Filey Eastern Black Redstart, which really did show well in the morning sun @FileyBirdObs @BirdGuides @RSPBEngland @RSPBbirders
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
Nice to catch up with the Eastern Black Redstart and @JohnHarwood30 at Filey this afternoon! @nybirdnews
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
There are some great photos of the Eastern Black Redstart which has reappeared @FileyBirdObs and then there’s mine. Having missed the bird by seconds at Scarborough and then got thoroughly wet through, how could I resist a day out at Filey in the sunshine. @nybirdnews
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
Thirty seven Sanderling set against a silver sea in the bay corner @FileyBirdObs today; passing swiftly by me and disappearing into the low winter sun. Gone as quickly as they arrived. @nybirdnews
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
Eastern black redstart, Filey. Showing well at Bay Corner, Filey Brigg at noon. After a wet dip in Scarborough last week, bird kind enough to work its way towards me today. Thanks to original finder, a beauty. @nybirdnews @FileyBirdObs @teesbirds1 @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
Superb views of the Eastern Black Redstart this afternoon at Filey. Thanks to @sandgrouse01 for the beach 🏝️ ↔️directions. Backed up by a long awaited lifer, Red-throated Diver ✅ @Natures_Voice @FileyBirdObs @Britnatureguide #birds #ukbirds #birdwatching #wildlifephotography

Eastern Black Redstart at Filey Brigg today
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
A rewarding couple of hours @FileyBirdObs earlier today in spite of the bracing NW wind & the odd icy shower. Three confiding Snow Buntings on Carr Naze, a Red-necked Grebe, two Great Northern Divers & a single Little Auk all on the sea, bay side of The Brigg. @nybirdnews
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
Carr Naze, Filey seems to be a regular spot for Snow Buntings - this bird was wonderfully obliging before too many people arrived!
Filey Bird Observatory retweeted
