The female Ring-necked Duck was back at Druridge Bay Country Park 7/2/35 @NTBirdClub

Nice to see a female Pintail at St Mary’s Wetland after failing, again, to locate the Water Pipit ! @NTBirdClub

The female Ring-necked Duck from Druridge Bay Country Park 15/1/25 @NTBirdClub

A great day in #Northumberland as the run of rarities continues with this Buff-bellied Pipit. And the seascapes were outstanding too @NTBirdClub

A confiding roadside Snow Bunting at Druridge Bay Country Park @NTBirdClub

Nice to get a second bite at the cherry so to speak. Outrageously good views of the White-billed Diver at Druridge Bay Country Park 😊 @NTBirdClub

Snippet of today’s White-billed Diver from Cresswell Pond. I wasn’t expecting it to fly right over my head as it flew north 12:20pm so didn’t have my camera ready #schoolboyerror @NTBirdClub

Nice to start the #Northumberland year-list with Grey-headed Lapwing, now on three consecutive year-lists. And a distant Kingfisher, both at East Chevington @NTBirdClub

A few of the Slavonian Grebe at Druridge Pools today. Always a little distant. @NTBirdClub

Another failed attempt for a #Northumberland Richard’s Pipit at Long Nanny dunes despite hours of searching - one day 🤞 Best of the rest was this SEO and a Whinchat @NTBirdClub

Spotted Redshank at East Chevington, #Northumberland today. Also 2 Pintail and a brief appearance by a Black Tern were the other highlights @NTBirdClub

My best views yet of a #Northumberland Cetti’s Warbler at East Chevington today. An almost unobscured view of this individual wearing bling @NTBirdClub

Another great find by @Warkworthbirder this Siberian/Amur Stonechat on Amble links today is my second #Northumberland record. @NTBirdClub 😊

My first #Northumberland Ortolan Bunting ✅ on Inner Farne. A little distant but the icing on the cake after a brilliant cruise around @thefarneislands yesterday. Last photo is one I took in Armenia in May @NTBirdClub

A little footage of the Greater Sand Plover at Lynemouth beach this afternoon. A first for #Northumberland and #329 on my County list ✅ @NTBirdClub

Western Cattle Egret still from the Budge hide, Druridge Bay this morning and a little further north at East Chevington, Red-backed Shrike @NTBirdClub

My targets were either too distant or absent today so no photos but I did encounter some confiding coastal birds while searching @NTBirdClub – at North East, England
