Snow Bunting sightings are increasing. This one was at Newbiggin and I also had views of another at South Shields (9h Nov).
I watched a few Fieldfare arriving, one only just had enough energy to get to the shore. Most however continued inland without pausing to rest.
Shore Lark numbers double (to two)
A trip to Gibside made a welcome change from the coast.
Early morning before my trip to Gibside I visited the pier at South Shields to look for the Grey Phalarope. Unfortunately the gate was still locked when I had to leave at 08:15.
On my return in the early afternoon the Phalarope was very close to the pier and one photographer who ventured on to the rocks found the bird kept swimming towards him.
