Towards the end i think that might be Cleadon Water Tower, i can see that quite often from Redcar. The 3 towers should be Sunderland, not far from Stadium of Light which i can also see from Redcar. - maps.app.goo.gl/C9rU6WYWRiMz...

Not great, it can track birds, but they need to be pretty close or large birds. So while it works it's not great for that, luckily it's not why I got it though.

Sun spots taken this morning with Dwarf 3. Seems to work well for wildlife and planes too, short clip of it tracking a plane passing as well. Wondering how well it can maybe track larger birds, so will test tomorrow.
