Moments at Migfest; captured by young photographers

05 November 2024

Over the Spurn Migration Festival ‘Migfest’ weekend held in September 2024, we challenged anyone 25 or under to ‘capture a moment’, to take a photograph using any camera to hand - an old mobile through to a fancy new SLR - and provide a sentence or two of context to outline why the image represented this annual birdwatching festival for them. The caption was as important as the image - and the participants thoroughly delivered on both fronts!

October Sightings Roundup

October started on a high note with 86 Barnacle Geese passing through and a Sooty Shearwater spotted over the sea. On land, lingering birds from September included a juvenile Pallid Harrier, an Arctic Warbler in the Canal Bushes, a Firecrest, and a Red-breasted Flycatcher in the Kew-to-Cliff Farm area. New arrivals at the Point included a Rosefinch and a Richard’s Pipit.
