I’d settle for Cetti’s in Cramlington first - still no records…
Very nice views of Marsh Harrier on the Northumberland coast this morning - and plenty of spring migrants (including Lesser Whitethroat) despite cold conditions!

A blast from the past - June 2021 and a red-necked stint on the Blyth Estuary- the bird was close but heat haze was a nightmare - this image ran through Gemini has a pleasing overall result.

A Marsh Sandpiper less than half a marathon from home provided a nice opportunity after work today.
Thou shalt not grumble too much about heat haze.
