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
Carr Naze, Filey seems to be a regular spot for Snow Buntings - this bird was wonderfully obliging before too many people arrived!
Filey Brigg with @PhilWoo20716401 on 10/10/2025, 14:05 - 18:03. Highlights of Red-throated Divers, Bar-tailed Godwits, Purple Sandpiper, PF Geese, Rock Pipits, Turnstones, Knot. Bottle-nosed Dolphins. @FileyBirdObs @nybirdnews app.bto.org/birdtrack/pubc…
34 years of hurt. Never stopped me dreaming.... Needle-tailed Swift Filey Brigg 9th October 2025
Latest from the Yorkshire coast an adult Brown Shrike Lanius cristatus at Hunmanby Gap on Thursday afternoon but no further sightings today. A great patch find by Keith Clarkson. Also nearby at Flamborough/Bempton Sibe Stonechat, 2 Barred Warblers, 2 Red Br Fly & 6 Yellow brows.
The Brown Shrike at Hunmanby Gap this afternoon
A slight increase in autumn passage migrants evident today, but still steady, with the star being a lifer with the lovely Brown Shrike in off at @FileyBirdObs, which gave good views. A steady walk atop @Bempton_Cliffs produced H Harrier, Peregrine plus sibechat.
Another of the juvenile ruff group at East Lea, Filey Dams currently. So beautiful. Glad there is still enough water to attract passing waders. Superb @FileyBirdObs hide always. @nybirdnews @waderquest @Natures_Voice @NatureUK
Black-tailed godwit preen, Filey Dams NR. Always enjoy their plumage at this time of year. One of several on the Dams and East Lea in early morning sunshine today. @FileyBirdObs @YorksWildlife @nybirdnews @waderquest @Natures_Voice #birds #ukbirding
Ruff, East Lea, Filey Dams YWT NR. One of four enjoying an early morning forage today. Also 4 blackwit, 2 snipe, greenshank … and little egret on Dams. @FileyBirdObs @nybirdnews @waderquest @Natures_Voice
A bit more spoonbill action at the wonderful East Lea pool at Filey Dams. Always worth my @FileyBirdObs membership to visit here. Very cutting wind blowing through the new-ish hide; great recent landscaping nearby too. @nybirdnews @waderquest @teesbirds1 @Natures_Voice @NatureUK
Spoonbill circling Filey Dam’s East Lea pool late yesterday morning, before heading off. Always an impressive profile in flight. @FileyBirdObs @nybirdnews @Natures_Voice @BBCSpringwatch @WildlifeMag @BirdGuides @teesbirds1 @waderquest
Spoonbill, East Lea, Filey Dams Came for the ruddy shelduck, but this bird beat me to it. Still present noon after brief drop into the Dams side. Might be the one I’ve just seen at Scalby. @FileyBirdObs @nybirdnews @waderquest @Natures_Voice
Filey's Yellow "Less a leg" 🤣
The Lesser Yellowlegs was giving great views from the East Lea side of Filey Dams this evening. @nybirdnews @BirdGuides
Lesser Yellowlegs still at Filey Dams this morning @nybirdnews @RareBirdAlertUK @FileyBirdObs @BirdGuides
Lesser Y legs still at Filey Dams today (3rd day), this being the 4th record for the Dams. Nice addition to my "small" finders list. 🤣 @FileyBirdObs @nybirdnews
My take on the Lesser Yellowlegs at Filey Dams this morning. A new bird for me 😀 @FileyBirdObs @BirdGuides #YWT #Filey
Male Eastern Subalpine Warbler at Filey today, Showed well in-between long bouts of disappearing amongst the undergrowth to feed @FileyBirdObs @nybirdnews @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK
