I spent most of the weekend at the Carr hoping to see the tawny owl,but as luck has it he did not show.
But I did get to see the whitethroat,this was a first for me and get a photo of this cracking bird was a bonus for me.that was on Saturday,when I was there I met city birder for the fist time,I am glad I did for he put me in the right direction to see the whitethroat,I thank him for that.
Sunday was a cracking day,the barn owl was out hunting for a good half hour,the views we got of him were the best I have had in a long while.
WILD FLOWERS
All wild flowers were taken over the past year,most of them in the Northumberland area.
A small collection of photos of our local birds
Most of these birds were photographed in the north east area.
the glossy ibis
my fist sighting of the glossy ibis was a good one, there it was right in front of the window,there was at least 15 people taking shots of it,must be the most photographed bird in the north east
and rightly so.
birds of pray
most of these birds were photographed in captivity,the ones with out names are not identified as yet.

Hi Little Sparrow
That is good timing. Just wanted to say thanks as i got the Black Grouse Lekking in the exact place you said. The bonus was there was a Woodcock right in front as well, also a few Whimbrel . Had a great day and thanks again. Will bump into you one day. I get up to Prestwick quite a lot. Did you get instructions where to see the Tawny Owl? If not let me know as i've seen it a few times. An account of my day at Langdon Common and pic. of Woodcock is on my blog if you are interested. sedgedunumwarbler.blogspot.com
Good luck and thanks again
