No sign of Arctic warbler

Dipped the Whitburn Arctic warbler today :( just glad it wasn't a lifer "phew". Had a juv Red backed shrike in the reserve and a sparrowhawk over, not much else at the coast but tomorrow could land something as NE winds are forecast :0 back in Gateshead and Shibdon pond had 2 ruff and 2 greenshank still, this time the ruff were showing well for some shots. A black-tailed godwit and 2 green sands were at Lamesley wm.
