Great days birding
Great days birding in the borough, with 4 new gateshead and british year ticks :) first off was a common sandpiper at shibdon (cheers george), next was a trip to watergate for a black necked grebe and another common sandpiper (cheers rob) also a common tern dropped in for a quick feed before heading off on its journey. Next was burdon moor where i had a peregrine fly over and 20+ wheatear, finished the day with a trip to lamesley water meadows where i had 2 yellow wagtails, 4 white wagtails, 10+ meadow pipits, wheatear, 2 gadwall. Looking good for the next few days aswell, bit rain tomorrow should ground a few things? :) also past the centurion at 4pm on his bike heading into the derwent walk, must be after some migrant action? ;) lol, good luck mate, i'll check your blog later to see if you have ticked anything
