On Monday 2nd March I took a trip up the Northumbrian coast to Warkworth, it was a ridiculously quiet day with not much showing at all. How odd, the North-East coast is after all a mecca for birdlife!!
I went out with a few target species in mind;
So instead of rabbiting on about nothing massively exciting I'll simply let the photo's do the talking for me.
