I ended the last post with a prediction of sorts. Bizarrely it came true...
12:16 on a quiet Saturday, lunch consumed and a casual glance at the phone. Message from Gary.
Head-less chicken mode ensued.
An hour later and I'm there... a UK/world tick for me, and weirdly, not quite as expected... a second 1st winter appeared as the bird flew over our heads off out to the beach!
First UK multiple record?
The last Northumberland bird was December 1979, so a catch up for many in the county. 2013 has been a belter year in Northumberland.
Feeding on worms... |
Doubtless more images to follow in a day or two... I need a moment or two to take this all in!
Seconds... both birds far off on the rocks south of Seahouses |
In addition to the Ivory Gulls - peregrine and woodcock

Great pictures of a cracking bird.
Thanks, a great event if ever there was one!
