An amazing count of 58 Avocets on the #Blyth estuary this morning beating previous site record of 44. At least 2 #ColourRinged birds and yellow flagged 7L which has returned from the Aln Estuary.

@neheritagelib.bsky.social thought you might like to see this. It's a Blyth Co-Operative Society picnic. Do not know date. From family album. #genealogy #blyth #Northumberland
A line of beach huts all with brightly painted fronts. Each door is painted a different, more pastel colour. A paved promenade in front, with sand covering it in places. A light blue sky with wispy clouds above the scene
Some beach huts on the sea front at Blyth, Northumberland.
Apparently they can be rented by the day and contain some deck chairs, a kettle, coat hooks and a small 'work space'!
Just the thing after a bracing swim in the North Sea.
Probably.π

I was first on site this morning at Blyth for this monster of a diver - even bigger than a Great Northern Diver - the White-billed Diver. Look at that banana bill! Watched it feed & fight off marauding gulls. What a beast. #lifer #ukbirds #birds #ukbirding #nebirding #blyth #birdsseenin2026
The original White-billed Diver from Tuesday has returned to #Blyth South Harbour after a morning trip to the Sleekburn Spit further up the estuary.

At least 5 years since we had #J76Y at #Blyth Quayside and your bird must have been ringed about same time. How old is your bird now ?

BTO right, Darvics on left π. Weβve had 7 #ColourRinged Shags today on #Blyth East Pier in Northumberland today. At least 3 known Isle of May birds, a @bardseybirdobs.bsky.social bird which first appeared in autumn 2024 and 3 completely new birds. Feeding incredibly tough for them at the moment .
After a quiet winter with only 3 #ColourRinged Shags on #Blyth East Pier itβs fair to theyβve been on the move. Tonightβs roost held 7 birds including 3 Isle of May birds, with Green ARX, ringed 2014 back for another winter. 2 new birds included Yellow 8F8. Any ideas @josiethebirder.bsky.social ?
