DAY OUT BIRDING IN NORTHUMBERLAND

I spent the day in Northumberland today with Owen parsons and we managed to dip the Grey Headed Lapwing again after it had showed for the last few days and seemed to have settled down in to some sort of pattern,this was Owen's second dip trying to see this bird!

                                                                 East Chevington Reserve

Birds of note on site before we moved on were a Barn Owl,2 Marsh Harrier and a Sparrowhawk.Thankfully across from East Chevington reserve the juvenile White Billed Diver was still showing well at Druridge Bay country park,there was also a female Scaup on site.

Moving on from here we called in at Jarrow on the river Tyne and got cracking views of an adult Ross's Gull.It turned into abit of gull fest and we also connected with a Mediterranean Gull and Iceland Gull.
