Rarity is just a matter of perspective, as @bardseybirdobs.bsky.social migration illustrates.

Left @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social this morning, after an enjoyable but fairly slow weekend of migrants...

Today: Black-faced Bunting, Pallas's Warbler, Dusky Warbler, Hume's Leaf Warbler & Little Bunting. #ukbirding

A slightly slower start to the day at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social was livened up by a close Arctic Skua flyby this morning, the showy Pectoral Sandpiper at Easington lagoons this afternoon, and great views of multiple Yellow-browed Warblers throughout the day. Made a mate too! #ukbirding

Yeah, I spoke with the ringer himself a few hours after seeing it. It was ringed on site at Spurn last week.

Wildlife on the move at @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social today! Highlights inc. a large pod of Bottlenose Dolphins moving north, a distant Long-Eared Owl, hundreds of thrushes arriving in-off, a showy Jack Snipe and a handful of Yellow-browed Warblers - inc. this colour-ringed bird. #ukbirding #rarebirdsuk

We arrived this evening. We'll be out and about first thing, so will keep our eyes out for you!

Da iawn @penrhynbirder.bsky.social - well deserved! 👏

Nice - hopefully more of the same over the weekend! 🤞

The birds weren't the only ones making the most of the good weather on the Great Orme yesterday. This rather tired looking Painted Lady was fluttering around the cliffs on the west side, whilst a chorus of Dark Bush-crickets chirped away. #ukbutterflies #invertebrates #bugsky

Great that this Curlew Sand is still hanging around. Has been seen in the same area daily since Friday. We even managed to get it on the WeBS on Sunday! 🥳

The Great Orme was busy with birds (and birders!) today, with a variety of migrants making the most of a still day. Great to see the 2 showy Firecrest, found by @marcbuzzard.bsky.social - both in the same Hawthorn at one point! Also Brambling, 2 Wheatear and 20+ Redwing. #birdingwales #ukbirding

Have a great time mate. Say hi to Tim if you bump into him!

After failing to pick up any Yellow-browed Warblers at Wells Woods yesterday morning, a quick afternoon dash for the 1st-winter Red-backed Shrike at Morston Greens made up for it. Great views of our second Shrike species in as many days! #norfolkbirding #ukbirding #rarebirdsuk

The Lesser Grey Shrike at Winterton Dunes showed incredibly well yesterday. A first for me, and a fascinating bird to watch as it fed on a varied diet of invertebrates, including devil's coach-horse beetles, wasps, bees, dragonflies, crickets and more! #ukbirding #rarebirdsuk

Interesting. Pretty cool to see one so relaxed for once. Clearly feeding well!

Some great seawatching to be had along the Norfolk coast this week, with strong winds bringing the birds close to shore. The highlight for me was this exhausted Arctic Skua that flew in off the sea at Cley and landed on the beach right next to us! #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding
