If you can view these as 'Motion Picture' you might be able to work out what this is! 😄 If not, it's the Marsh Sandpiper at Boldon Flats this evening, a flippin' great find by Barry Stidolph! 👌 👍. It was a little dark for pics 😏 #NEbirding
Nice to here this Snipe calling last night from the wall as another was drumming above me.

If only I had a shiny pund coin for every night I’ve stood & watched this.

The air has been bitter of late
Wednesday are struggling to find many Willow Warblers yet - should be a good few in by now
However it is that time of year where we get that overlap of summer & winter birds.
Here’s 2 from last night

After the battering of Storm Dave a trip down to the South-West of Northumberland was perhaps a tad optimistic - however 4 Black grouse were located distantly (video still). No sign of any Ring Ouzel in snow/hail showers…

Gateshead’s first Black-tailed Godwit of the year appeared by the Tyne at Dunston this morning in blasting westerlies. Thanks to David Locke for the shout #NEbirding

Quiet migration morning at Tynemouth today. Highlights of 12 whooper swans north and 3 sand martins south but very few passerines moving. A singing reed bunting on the Spanish Battery was unusual for here. #nebirding #patchbirding
It looks like the Little Swift colony at Chipiona are doing well.

First batch of Dipper pulli rung today in a natural nest site 18’ above the water
We don’t have egg dates for these this season, but It’s likely these were laid during the first week in March

Patch workout this morning. Disturbance was high at Whitburn Steel so birds were few. Headed inland and into Mere Knolls Cemetery- Chiffchaff have finally arrived with five males holding territory. No Blackcap as of yet. #NEBirding #UKBirding
