A Garganey was new for Shotton today.
A fine evening up the reservoirs tonight with the local young owls all doing well and very vocal after sunset. A lone juv. Shelduck the only other bird of note. #NEBirding
Operation Spotted Crake continues... Some lovely muddy edges around Newton Pool now but still no crake unfortunately, the clock is ticking !
Repeatedly scanning the pool margins has resulted in Water Rails most nights...
It's been an amazing year for Hummingbird Hawkmoths in our tiny garden. We don't get them every year and it's always a treat to see one. This year we've seen seven ! Today this hummer was feeding on our lavender for a couple of minutes, just enough time to grab the camera.

Licensed inspection for NRS.
Lack of flooding has helped these over 2025/26 but other territories are suffering from lack of water
Sandwich Tern from Bydales Car Park this morning. Also while watching the Curlew Sandpiper at Redcar, this Goosander flew east. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #UKBirding #NEBirding
Juvenile knot on Spanish Battery Rocks, Tynemouth this morning. It's always good to see something other than the usual oycs, redshanks, turnstones and curlews here. #nebirding #patchbirding
Curlew Sandpiper still present at Redcar, opposite park hotel. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #NEbirding #UKbirding

A pretty dire Monday evening coast trip (for birds) was saved by this Didea fasciata male, my first of the year. #flies #insects #NEbirding
