Tried for the Pallas's Warbler at Swallow Pond on Sunday but the little blighter decided to lay low for a while (well it is Wallsend after all and the locals were out in force). Typically it showed the next day right next to the screen - par for the bloody course.
It's been a long while since I visited but there was a good grebe selection there as well as a massive Red Deer lurking around in the willows at the back of the pond (where's that come from?). Plenty of Chiff Chaff's singing too.
Just heard a Red breasted Goose is up at the 'Bay'. It's ringed but may still be a good'un so I may dabble after work!!
About Me
- Andy Atkinson
- I've birded in South Africa, California, Israel, Canada, Texas, Iceland, Poland, Cyprus, Turkey, Fuertaventura, Spain and done Mallorca many times but I'm rarely happier when I'm birding at Druridge Bay, Lindisfarne and other sites on the Northumberland coast. Keeping my little boy occupied has curtailed things a bit so if a birder rolls up to a twitch with a nipper in tow - it's me.
