Little

Little Gulls prove to be the highlight today, with an adult and first winter off Briardene and an adult at Tynemouth Haven.

Today's sea was spectacular, and made up for little in terms of additions to the "yearlist" - no sign of the black redstart at the foot of Tynemouth Pier, but the odd purple sandpiper in the area to stop and look at.

Fading light prevented any further birding, and it'll be a few days before I get the chance to resume...
