Yellow-browed Warbler trapped and ringed at the Tin Church (Low Newton) this morning.
A few other birds were dropping in here, mainly Chaffinches and Siskins but also 2 Redwings. A fair number of Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Robins and Song Thrushes still around the scrub too.

Boulmer, late pm… Lapland Bunting still present, Ruff, Barnacle Goose, Little Owl, 2 Arctic Skuas, c210 Little Gulls & 40+ Mediterranean Gulls - the latter an amazing count, several times my previous site best #NEbirding
I called at the Phil Stead hide today @RSPBSaltholme
and was shocked to see it was only a small puddle, even more shocked to see this Grey Heron catch an Eel in it

No sign of the Subalpine Warbler at Newton Pool this morning. 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Wheatears and a handful of Swallows and House Martins drifting south.
Here's a couple more pics from yesterday.

More images of the Shorelarks at South Shields. Imagine if I had a fully functional camera!
The two Shorelarks at Frenchman's Bay, South Shields were magnificent and indifferent to the many people around. This was the duller and more streaky of the two.
It's great when birding throws nice surprises your way, today was certainly one of those days. Uninspiring westerlies and then... Subalpine Warbler ! No dropped feathers but a poo sample recovered from the bag so🤞.
Then in the evening... Cuckoo !
One of two very confiding Shorelark at The Leas, South Shields today

A rare trip off patch this morning to meet up with Ian Mills and look at the Shorelarks at South Shields. Well worth it as exceptional views were had! #NEbirding
Not my usual photo, but the first time I've seen a Wasp Spider, taken @rspbtitchwellsnett.bsky.social
