I decided to put Suella Braverman in charge of Education and skills after seeing this eloquent display of her razor sharp intellect.

HUME'S LEAF WARBLER: The Old Barn, Easington. Present for it's 5th day. Not seen on this occasion. Heard giving a few calls initially. Forty minutes later it began calling regularly for a minute or so. @spurnbirdobs

HUME'S WARBLER - Spurn Easington Gas Terminal Woods. Showing and calling this morning [after playing hard to get yesterday - c/o Colin Bushell]. One of two birds in Easington Village at the moment and Spurn's third of the autumn thus far. @spurnbirdobs

@msabirder Sounds nasty. Get well soon Mark.

Top tip - don't over-rely on online health info, try 111! I was sick (not much, but lots of wretching) and put abdominal pain to muscle strain. Pain came and went, few classic symptoms per google. Long story short, ruptured appendix, right old mess inside, just avoided sepsis 😬

@CABS_REPORTS Amazing work. Many thanks. 👏

The 160 nets confiscated in Lebanon this autumn - including those from the recent 52 - net operation are destroyed! This ensures they can never again capture and kill migratory birds. Our teams will keep the pressure on!

Hume's Warbler 21st October 2025 3rd Paddock, Sammy's Point Spurn Quite elusive for the most part. #spurnbirds

@AlanDaviesbirds @spurnbirdobs See you next time Alan.

Day 5 Tour 4 Two Yorkshire. Thousands of Thrushes falling out of the sky! Fantastic to witness bird migration on this scale all around us. Majority Redwings, loads of Fieldfare & Blackbirds. Superb views of Yellow-browed Warbler. Huge thanks to all @spurnbirdobs another ace day!

@AlanDaviesbirds Good stuff Alan. See you again soon. 👍

@FXMbirding Nice bird, caught up with it today & nice views of Little Bunting, great day! Hopefully see you again soon…

Spurn, Easington Lagoons. Pectoral Sandpiper. This is one heck of a Pec.

Sõrve Bird Observatory, Estonia. Only one way to celebrate yesterday’s 18 Lesser Spotted Eagles and that’s with a piece of delicious cake. Gorgeous Honey Buzzard just gone over.

@georgegalloway @MoatsTV Who you working for George?

Not one British newspaper today has probed #ArsonGate in which private properties of the British prime minister were violated by a 21 year old £20 an hour male-model @MoatsTV

@danwootton Haha! Vile and Wooton go hand in hand.

Despite the vile efforts of Graham Norton and the BBC, the UK gave our 12 points to Israel. Another night of antisemitic shame for the British Bashing Corporation which should hang its head once more. DEFUND THE BBC! 🇮🇱 🇬🇧 #Eurovision

@CABS_REPORTS It’s incredible what you do. Much respect and a massive thank you.

⚠️ 1/4 CABS spring bird protection camp in #Malta complete – 31 poachers convicted! From the beginning of March until now, 3 teams comprised of 25 volunteers were on duty across Malta & Gozo taking action against illegal bird trapping the shooting of protected species …

FIRECREST: Spurn, East Yorkshire early morning 020525 - close to the old Blue Bell pub. Singing its heart out. If you can't love a fire-capped king you ain't got no soul. A real beauty. @spurnbirdobs

EUROPEAN BEE-EATER Just above the SPURN Bird Observatory garden tower early afternoon. Complemented the glorious sunshine very nicely. Lovely sight and sound. #Spurnbirds

Shouldn’t this plonker be in Miami?

@angus_young61 I remember talk several years ago about this stretch of the river (including the north side of the bridge) being turned into the Venice of the north. Still waiting.

Closed since July 2021 after a safety inspection, the future of the River Hull boardwalk is now due to be investigated in structural surveys as part of a new contract “over the next 24 months”. That takes us to 2027 before a decision is made on what to do with it. No rush then.
