Mainly local patch birding in Northumberland and the occasional foray further afield.

1/2 tide up or down is probably better as any gulls present will be closer to the prom. Good luck.

With our Shetland jaunt currently on hold until after Storm Amy abates, a taste of what we could be missing. A beezer of a Sibe Thrush in recovery mode on a Beidaihe windowsill!

A scruffy looking 1st W Casp off the prom @ SMI this morning. After a slow start that’s at least the 7th record since early Sept here. #NEbirding

I’ve never seen what I thought was a good familiaris but I would hope it would be a bit more distinctive than this one!

A bit of a patch rarity in the ‘Bluetail Glade’ at SMI Wetland this morning. I think I’ve seen more Blyth’s Reeds than Treecreepers here! #NEbirding

That was my first reaction but decided that in the absence of any grey feathering in the coverts that 1st W was the better option 🤷‍♂️

A new 1st W Casp off the prom @ SMI yesterday, this one with quite an advanced bill pattern. #NEbirding

You need to kick the habit of hanging around those places Les, before it goes badly wrong!

Well done Adam, could you drop a pin where you last had it, that’s patch gold!

A slight south-easterly breeze yesterday afternoon promptly delivered 2 YBW’s to the patch, a significant moment in the autumn! #NEbirding

This leucistic Herring Gull stole the show down @ SMI at lunchtime, a true seawatcher’s banana skin if ever there was one! #NEbirding

It’s not exactly been the most productive of Autumn’s thus far on the Mighty Blyth, so this juv Curlew Sand proved most welcome this pm. #NEbirding
