Saturday and off to Gateshead again but this time accompanied by The Big Man, first stop was Shibdon where there were quite a few Shelduck and lots of Gulls and Mallards.
Then we headed up to the Derwent where 2hrs of watching Dippers and Grey Wagtails
was unbelievably enjoyable.
was unbelievably enjoyable.
We bumped into Steve F who was being taken for a walk by his four legged friend and a bit of a chat was had. We then moved visiting a few more places in the vicinity.
Dunnock at Far Pastures
Yellowhammer waiting for a Grey Squirrel to finish eating the seed in the
"Squirrel Proof Cage"
...and here we have yet another "Squirrel Proof Cage" with a Nuthatch waiting for yet
another Grey Squirrel to get its fill. The good news is that it looks like someone is
actually regularly putting out food again. I tip my hat to them (have to admit I
forgot to take some with me today)
We then headed up to a Red Kite Viewing Point, had a cup of coffee and just watched.
OUTSTANDING - you just can't get tired of watching them, pity my pics don't do
them justice.
