Always more to learn
An excellent idea - and exactly the way I hoped they'd be using the twitter account
Most people have access to the internet ( and therefore twitter ) on their mobiles now, somebody could type a quick twitter update and within moments everyone could get the update - then those within the vicinity could get onto the birds that were the subject of the update
Might save people like me having to be a pain all the time

Some random thoughts about Spurn tweets.
You have to bear in mind that the mobile signal can be pretty poor at Spurn. I've tried to tweet when at Spurn, but it hasn't always been possible to send them at the time they were written!
Perhaps the person running the Spurn tweets isn't there all the time, which would make comprehensive all-day tweets pretty difficult.
If day visitors tweeted what they saw or heard over the radio, then you still wouldn't have that info if you didn't follow them! For instance, Dave Tucker tweeted what was around at 6.30 today, but if you don't follow him, you won't have seen his tweet!
I'm sure there's a lot more that could be said...
