Black Scoter

Distant scope views of a Black Scoter at Cheswick Sands Northumbria yesterday. On route we had good close but sadly brief views of a male Goshawk at Kielder Forest plus several Common Crossbill. we also saw several Common Buzzard both dark and pale morph one which has a pale rump base and got us excited briefly as we thought we were onto a Rough legged but sadly not!

Laughing Gull

Excellent views of the long staying Laughing Gull at New Brighton today

Shorelark at Fleetwood

Great to see again the long staying Shorelark at Rossall Point Fleetwood. Other highlights of the day were Corn Bunting at Eagland Hill and Hawfinch at a new site in Cumbria Witherslack seen only by Dave ( I believe you!!)
