On Wednesday seawatching was slow, with the star bird a dark-phase Arctic Skua. I followed this with a trip down to Bowesfield Marsh where the Marsh Warbler was still singing. Unfortunately it was too windy and I had to make do with brief glimpses and no photos. Still a Durham tick for me.
In the evening the first Gateshead Little Egret of the year was at Lamesley.

Thursday's seawatching was much better, no star birds, but 329 Manx Shearwater was a good count.
A trip up north in the afternoon gave a nesting Coot.

At Cresswell a Barn Owl was taking advantage of the dry weather to hunt and my first Little Gull of the year was on the pond.
