125 Cormorants at the #Blyth East Pier roost tonight and first 2 Shags of the autumn put in a brief appearance. Should be starting to pick up some of the regular #ColourRinged wintering birds soon.

Nice to start the new year with a new #ColourRinged Shag on #Blyth East Pier this afternoon. White SPA was present between 2 and 3pm when it was chased off by a Cormorant. Reported and awaiting ringing details. #NEBirding

After hundreds of #ColourRinged Shag sightings at #Blyth East Pier I finally found my first blinged up Cormorant. Looks like Green 085 is a Welsh bird from Puffin Island. Later joined by Shags from Bardsey Island (Red BBVE) , Isle of May (White SLI) and Farne Islands (Blue BHR). A decent afternoon.

First #ColourRinged Common Tern of the year at North #Blyth yesterday. A combination of distance, heat haze & windy conditions meant this was the best we could get. Probably Black 770 but down as a work in progress at the moment.

In the absence of any wader action on the #Blyth estuary here’s #ColourRinged Shelduck (Lime TS) for a change. Should be getting ready for some crèche-minding in the next couple of weeks.

It’s only taken 6 days but finally managed a record shot of the #ColourRinged Shelduck (Orange AM).
Originally ringed at Teesmouth on 25/4/24 & retrapped 12/4/25. This is the first sighting elsewhere.

Yet another playing hard to get #ColourRinged Common Tern at North #Blyth staithes today. Possibly Yellow 2.71 which would make it another #Teesmouth bird but need a nice still day to get a better look. #NEBirding @ntbirdclub.bsky.social

Successful day of Darvic reading 4 #ColourRinged Shelducks on the #Blyth Estuary today. 3 Teesmouth birds included the newest addition in Orange AM who is proving to be more than a bit camera shy.

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 ?

After a pretty non-productive birding day it was a final roll of the dice to look for a wheatear or 2 at Blyth South Harbour. Totally failed but as I walked away I was treated to a fly past by @bardseybirdobs.bsky.social #ColourRinged Shag (Red BBVE) which promptly landed on the jetty. #NEbirding
