Finally caught up with the Buff-breasted Sandpiper at Boulmer this afternoon, it’s been an elusive bird. Rather distant video, but catches its hyperactive vibe well #NEbirding

With the Scilly Isabelline frequenting the socials, a timely 📸 from the archive - 10 years for “shrike sp.”
[2016 Co. Durham, South Shields, 2CY+ female, 28th-30th October]; prev accepted as Isabelline. (Brit. Birds 110: 595-596) considered not proven (possibly a hybrid).
It’s day 12 for the Great White Egret at Shibdon Pond. Quite something when my first in Gateshead was a ‘one evening’ bird just last year #NEbirding
Marske this morning - Peregrine on coastal field (flew off west 10.30). A Jay over Fox Covert flew inland, a few Redwings through Fox Covert, Juv Little Gull along the coast and a Juv Arctic Tern on the beach with gulls. @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social #NEBirding #UKBirding

Longhoughton provided somewhat underwhelming views of Buff-breasted Sandpiper in harsh bright back-light, blustery wind gusts, and at times, freezing rain! Cracking bird nonetheless.

Little stint showing well at the Phil Stead hide when the cattle move out the way😀 #NEBirding#UKBirds

2026 green patch yearlist thread, 12 October; #127 a superb Jack Snipe at Gossy Park. My best, closest, most prolonged views ever 😃
A late afternoon visit to the patch today and clearly an arrival of thrushes, with lots of rustling leaf litter and a carpet of Blackbirds and Redwings at Newton Pool.
While the Buff-breasted Sandpiper eluded us, we still had cracking “seconds” of the Lapland Bunting late afternoon at a windy Longhoughton…

Black-headed Gull (seen 8th Oct) with yellow ring TN46 was ringed as a male 2cy on 23/06/2019 in Włocławek, Poland. Rough estimate of the distance between there and Redcar. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #NEBirding #Birdringing
Little Stint at Phil Stead Hide, RSPB Saltholme was busily feeding today. Plenty of glorious mud to probe on the pool. #NEbirding @teesbirds.bsky.social 🪶
Reflecting on a fab full day out in the field yesterday in Northumberland. Started well with an unexpected Glossy Ibis south at Beal, plus GN Diver and Todd’s Canada Goose in the area. A twitch was also required for the Buff-breast. Full highlights and some poor shots attached! #NEBirding #UKBirding
