We trialled a short half-day walk between Howick and Craster today. A warm sunny day with a light breeze it was a very pleasant stroll. Bird highlights included migrant Brambling, Redwing and Fieldfare and a flyover adult Mediterranean Gull.

Thought it would be an idea to feature some of the regular birds we see when walking various stretches of the Northumberland Coast. Feel free to share.

Birds of the Northumberland Coast #1 Pied Wagtail
Jaywalking the tideline searching for food, occasionally performing aerial acrobatic captures of Sand Flies but mostly just doing tail-wagging Pied Wagtails can be found along most of our coast in every month of the year. They're usually fairly approachable and despite the obvious black and white plumage sometimes heard before they're seen with their characteristic 'tsli-vitt' call. You'll find them on short grassy areas, sandy beaches and even running along the prom if the feeling takes them.

Blustery but mild conditions for this morning’s Newbiggin walk didn’t detract from some fine bird and cetacean sightings.
Some distant Common Scoter and Red-throated Divers kicked us off before we quickly got stuck into all three ages of the ever-delightful Mediterranean Gulls. Craig (one of our walkers) picked up some passing Bottle-nose Dolphins very close offshore and we enjoyed watching them move north. A sizeable flock of Sanderlings fed on tidal wrack along with several Redshank, Turnstone and three Dunlin.
North of Newbiggin Point we added 4 Purple Sandpipers, 2 Bar-tailed Godwits and several Grey Plovers into the walk list as well as Stonechat and Linnet. A juvenile Puffin was close inshore on the rising tide as we traced our steps back south.

Stunning late Autumn morning for our first Wansbeck walk and some superb birds and wildlife on offer.
A couple of Little Grebes off our meeting place were just the first of 28 counted over a 2km stretch of river. Three Little Egrets were noted including an acrobatic individual tightrope walking the safety fence above the weir. Duck highlights included Scaup, 15 Goldeneye and Goosander. Waders were thin on the ground but a single Black-tailed Godwit and Curlew were noted as well as a Dunlin on the estuary. A Kingfisher was seen in flight and three Otters cavorted in the morning sun. Offshore a winter plumage Puffin was a good find in a loose flock of Common Scoter and 2-3 Red-throated Divers were close inshore.

Out and about along one of our favourite stretches of coast just before the rain hit today. Lots of activity included 3 migrant Northern Wheatears and eight species of wader offering great views feeding along the shore. Away from the beach a small number of Meadow Pipits were loosely associating with a big 100-strong flock of Goldfinches feeding on wildflower seed heads. Such underrated birds Meadow Pipits, we think they're subtly beautiful!

We're back! Looking forward to a new programme of regular Guided Bird Walks for Winter around some great Northumberland birding sites. We'll be announcing dates and locations in the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled on the page.
