Spent most of the morning at burdon moor, bit of bad news from here aswell :( i found the remains of the local little owl, looks like a sparrowhawk kill to me. Lets hope the remaining bird finds another partner soon. 20+ skylarks and a couple of meadow pipits back on the moor now, other sightings included grey partridge-2 red kites-2 kestrel-green woodpecker-100+ golden plover-20+lapwings-yellowhammer-2 reed buntings-6 mallard-8 teal-2 snipe-33 fieldfare-8 curlew- 1000+ starling-2 redwing-corvids-tits. Had a check to see if any
kittiwakes were back on the tyne, 4 birds were on show and 2
ringed plovers were back at dunstan staithes. Both birds in red were new for year.
Burdon moor - good area for passing raptors and other migrants
ive had - marsh harrier, hobby, osprey, rough legged buzzard, ring ouzel, whinchat just to name a few
remains of a plucked little owl
