4 more species for the year after a bit of the walk over a wet and occasionally blustery fell.
Tawny Owl calling at first light in the Southburn woods and a Woodcock flushed from there as I walked/crashed through them. Then Daisy Hill produced two more with several Common Snipe and two Meadow Pipit (but no hoped for Jack Snipe). Still 70 species on the 2nd here ain't too bad.
Didn't do too well in 2017 in keeping the blog up to date did I?, so must try harder.
Thats an impressive start & some good birds
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice of boundary
Best of Luck
I know - as well as Beamish & Ouston it includes Lambton Pond and Houghton Gate so I'm afraid I'll be straying onto your patch :-)
