I had a quick look at lunch time trying to get a toddler to sleep. Fancy a look on Friday ?

Have you actually got 2 different white c/r gulls there ?

I’ll get along on Friday for a look at it empty. It’s been a while

Great work Alan , does that include improving/ reinstating the sediment forebay to prevent future silting up over the whole pond ? It formed part of the original design but was never really maintained.

This Merlin at Rocky Island Seaton Sluice this morning was definitely a wannabe Purple Sandpiper. Later seen hunting in Collywell Bay. #NEbirding

This is news to me. The regular Northumberland wintering Black Scoter spends the summer off Varanger, Norway.

Well just like that, it’s October and after 2 blank visits the first #ColourRinged Shag is back on #Blyth East Pier. However, I wasn’t expecting it to be Red BBVE, last year’s @bardseybirdobs.bsky.social juvenile ringed at Tornado Ledge on 8/7/24. I wonder where it’s been since April ?

It’s a stunner ! Flew north past Seaton Sluice this afternoon before quickly doubling back the the People’s Republic. Obviously didn’t fancy the look of Blyth 😉

Does it get any better did you say? …..it certainly does ! Look at this beautiful 🤪leucistic Herring Gull which entertained us at Seaton Sluice whilst failing miserably to connect with the Honey Buzzard despite your gallant efforts with directions.
