Northumberland

An excellent day in Northumberland, but unfortunately no year ticks.

Started at Stag Rocks where poor and very distant views of the Black Scoter were had. Also here were 15+ Long-tailed Duck and a Great Northern Diver.

With news of some geese it was to the Long Nanny next. A large flock of Pink-feet were separate from 30+ Greylag, 50+ Barnacle, 4 European White-front and 2 Tundra Bean.

At Birling the Redpoll flock was very mobile, but did provide good views of the Arctic and a Mealy.

East Chevington still held Slavonian and Black-necked Grebe along with a Common Scoter. Still no sign of Marsh Harrier here for me.

An hour's search for 2 Waxwing that had been seen on wires behind Druridge Pools proved fruitless.

No photos today as everything was either distant or fleeting.
