After a failed attempt when it was almost dark last night relieved to see the Short Toed Lark was still there this morning even if it was a bit bedraggled after the heavy rain.

3 Little Gulls on the beach at East Chevington otherwise pretty quiet so resorted to photographing the House Sparrows on the lobster pots in Amble harbour.

Quick walk along the cliff tops at Whitburn produced Great Northern Diver south, 2 Long Tailed Ducks, Male north with Scoters and female south.

Always lots of feathers along the tideline at Lindisfarne. Curlew, Shelduck, Wigeon and possibly Golden Plover here. Merlin, Woodcock and 6 Whoopers amongst the thousands of Wildfowl and Waders.

Great White Egret and Whitefronts at Rainton Meadows this morning.

Desert Wheatear at Jackies beach this morning. Like many I imagine that makes it 4 Wheatear species for me within walking distance of here in the last few years.
