Buzzard
Well it is the Spring Equinox today and Spring is definitely on show with good numbers of common migrants, very early dawn chorus, and displaying raptors.
Chiffchaff
Chiffchaffs arrived in good numbers in the last few days. Early birds rarely give good photo opportunities but in a couple of weeks they will be much more confiding.
Gadwall
Duck species are looking terrific (there s nothing worse than autumn eclipse plumage duck ... aagh.)
Great Tit
Greenfinch
Bunny
Razorbills
Their brief return on 20th February was similar to the behaviour of Coquet Puffins. A quick check to make sure the breeding sites are available then back out to sea for a few weeks feeding. Now they're back in numbers on the cliffs.
Roe Deer
Sand Martin
Small cliff colony at Whitburn and this lone bird was first back to check an old nest hole. Maybe thinking of it as a roost site.
Wheatear
Again a sudden influx of early birds. (This one on Newbiggin Golf Course.) Then there can be a few weeks before we get another significant influx.

Bean Geese
Aaagh! How did I put the wrong photo here? I've deleted and replaced with the proper Bean Geese.
Tundra variety. East Chevington.
Yellowhammer
At least three pairs near the Power Station gate. Lynemouth/Newbiggin
