A return to work after the lockdown would obviously curtail birding, but just four days in I had to stop a few hours early to pop up to Lynemouth. Having seen three other Citrine Wagtail (and impressed by them all) I was keen to see this male in the exact same spot as the stunning female from May 2017. It didn't disappoint, giving excellent and sometimes very close views. A Water Pipit added to the spectacle. As well as the bird it was great to see other birders after three months of lockdown. Looking west into the afternoon sun made photography hit and miss, but I'm happy with what I got.

Today an adult Iceland Gull dropped into Lamesley for a quick wash and the drake Pintail continues to linger. |
