On foot day 2

On foot again today, today's route was - Winlaton mill - clockburn lane (swawell) - fellside fields (above derwent walk) - hollinside manor - nine arches - derwent walk - winlaton mill, distance 3.7m. Added 5 new species to foot list taking my total to 70.
new species
Lapwing 3 birds fellside
Skylark single bird singing fellside
Meadow pipit 31 feeding on swawell cricket field
Linnet flock of 50+ hollinside
Yellowhammer 18 birds fellside
Will be on foot again tomorrow, far pastures and low + high thorrnley area. The weather should turn a bit better next week, so i should get back to my normal Gateshead route? get some migrants, i hope.
