Wet Weekends

Busy weekend, travelling about the county in search of whatever was available... Red-necked Phalarope, Bonaparte's Gull, Wood Warbler, Pied Flycatcher, Roseate and Little Tern, Lesser Whitethroat , Great White Egret stood out, and...

Back in the game

After what feels like an eternity, some normal frequency birding shall resume...

First trip out for a while, and a chance to catch up with the female Red-necked Phalarope at Grindon Lough.

Awful conditions, almost autumnal! Heavy rain showers in very blustery conditions.
