Hopefully I'll get around to a change in approach soon. Of course you can always use the previous posts to find out about birding in the last few years. So far my birding has been limited to the local coast and the odd trip to Northumberland and Teesside. The birding has been wonderful though not spectacular as one expects from January in the North East but there could always be a surprise?</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6GimoPQ8edZE3n2DLhNUix2A30u0Q9dPUW32MhPz1OCQKhBnra1h4uDC0mhAFwto5_VryGWzAvyXadfgy1y8cNZoAyd8bTBl-Q4nuII9tCuhJUWmoLqR-PV3JTeh03hKLbWIw_KpPbocjNwmukKsobtQV_OTWxjA7R3SBcl6nTbXGY0-VTVGEr-e-qVx/s3456/Grey%20Heron%20040124%20b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The pair immediately striking to look at and very chunky, however, I don't think I saw enough to claim them as definite 'northern' race.</div><br /> <p></p>baybirdinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14048137886626916224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071838258481003875.post-76684150496477959002023-10-13T00:52:00.002-07:002023-10-13T00:52:30.224-07:00Autumn<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Amazing numbers of American Birds however have been blown across the Atlantic by a series of storms. Not sure whether that is good to see though. I would think for every one seen in Britain a large numbers on the same path ditch into the sea. Then the ones which do make it will probably not make it back and so are doomed to an unproductive few years.</div><br /> <p></p>baybirdinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14048137886626916224noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071838258481003875.post-86001591849405092512023-09-11T22:35:00.002-07:002023-09-11T22:35:12.686-07:00Mo Bo <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHm6ovN_obNOtJf8hb3KF08ohHcaGokLmXMRzjKHCVCS0LkzsqFxvl6P8vbtRj5Hh3pjlnEw_zjyEZ1qMZFpMhTkg0acyfJDM3vKyLlzwjux31_1iX2zmRNyzqxgHX0g9kXGuxe8pz5ig0eY52k9tWDld2NHQ-BCwjoE2TDOeKkdypcT3JBi25ao4HZECc/s2502/Mo%204th%20100923%20a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2502" data-original-width="1967" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHm6ovN_obNOtJf8hb3KF08ohHcaGokLmXMRzjKHCVCS0LkzsqFxvl6P8vbtRj5Hh3pjlnEw_zjyEZ1qMZFpMhTkg0acyfJDM3vKyLlzwjux31_1iX2zmRNyzqxgHX0g9kXGuxe8pz5ig0eY52k9tWDld2NHQ-BCwjoE2TDOeKkdypcT3JBi25ao4HZECc/s320/Mo%204th%20100923%20a.jpg" width="252" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mo Farah</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Great North Run 10/09/2023</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Fourth Place)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just checking to see if the 'chippy' is open!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lVf8FV52nXltxiSXXaVXTIZsX67Pj9-uNNAX1gDEWDvTtxHyGBchjPCR9NRTW6kB2l1cDs-fuKCDkymlc_yoV07ARyxovMlb1PsO0sUF-qga76oHtNIR9rjyHDIuujODilY9dTM1O_RHRZ59pse0RvhhyRLXpq-YBFD2wYd5YLSMAPhovBPo3Ye9A470/s1883/Brown%20Booby%20110923%20a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1883" data-original-width="1368" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lVf8FV52nXltxiSXXaVXTIZsX67Pj9-uNNAX1gDEWDvTtxHyGBchjPCR9NRTW6kB2l1cDs-fuKCDkymlc_yoV07ARyxovMlb1PsO0sUF-qga76oHtNIR9rjyHDIuujODilY9dTM1O_RHRZ59pse0RvhhyRLXpq-YBFD2wYd5YLSMAPhovBPo3Ye9A470/s320/Brown%20Booby%20110923%20a.jpg" width="232" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A frustrating drive to Teesmouth was rewarded with some good views of the Brown Booby.

Sea-watching Sites become very busy and all the coastal shrubs are checked. I was lucky enough to come across this Pied Flycatcher. The following day I checked the Pier End car park and heard an unusual call as soon as I parked the car. I thought it was a warbler call and it was very loud. As I approached the source of the call there was no movement. Then all of a sudden several birds moved including the Blue Tit that was making the sound.
