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
01 November 2024
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.
Thanks to all the many photographers who allow us to use their images on this site, in particular Dave McAleavey, Martin Standley, Mike Watson, Richard Willison.
