Too Busy To Do A Full Blog

Saturday and Sunday I had my usual visits to Big Waters for the major part of the day with a trip to Gosforth Park Feeding Station post Big W on Saturday and Newbiggin on Sunday for an hour, adding Black Redstart to my year list, before shooting off to Big  W for a wander round with Alan, Ian and Keith.

I am quite backed up with admin chores around the house at the moment and doing lots of little jobs I have been putting off for a rainy day (its bloody bucketing now) so you wont have one of my diatribes to read (if you bother of course).  So here is a few pics from the weekend in no particular order.


One of a 140+ Greylags at Big Waters on Saturday

Partly frozen Big Waters but still plenty of birds around


Gorgeous looking Nuthatch at Gosforth Park

Yesterday morning, at about 07:40am, I was travelling south on the A1 and seven swans flew over from Big Waters' direction.

I was concentrating on the traffic, so only a fleeting view. But they looked slim and Whooperish - what do you think?
