On foot

On foot today, my route was Winlaton mill - derwent river - shibdon pond - derwenthaugh meadows - river tyne - river derwent - winlaton mill. 43 species seen, 1 new Gateshead year tick and 6 new for the foot list, new birds :
Gadwall - new for Gateshead year list
Gooseander
Cormorant
Oystercatcher
Stock dove
Redshank
Recieved a text from George as i was leaving the house, that he had found a Gadwall at shibdon, cheers.

Shame it was snowing and the Gadwall was distant :(
