Saturday was a busy day,so many places to go to,and not much time to do it in,first stop whitley  bay cemetery.must have been 3 to 400 starling roosting in the trees,a few thrushes,blue tits, coal tits,black birds,

I did see a warbler.but what species I could not say,and a sparrow hawk flew past looking for his next meal.Next its off to st, mary's to see the gloden plover,you could see them from the cemetery flying pasts I would say there was about 1000 at least.curlew were in abundance as well,shoveler,snipe,teal, wigeon,mute swans,tufted duck,and a pair of stone chat were at st mary's wetland.Next stop holywell flash to see if we can spot the pectoral sandpiper as it was reported see there,no luck so we pushed onto holywell pond,got some good vews of a white fronted goose,and eight pink feet along side some greylag.Amble is our next port of call
 as my mate eamonn's belly is calling for his chips.Hauxley was very quiet but I did get to see a pair of golden eye.East chevington was our last place to try and see some thing,we were very luck as we spotted a long tailed duck,and two pintail ducks with out eamonn's scope it would have been imposable.
