It must be about four years now that I have been visiting the cresswell area,and in all that time when the bittern was there I always seem to miss it,but this week I was in luck,I was told by a photographer friend he is still in the area,if only we were about half an hour sooner we would have seen the bittern right next to wall nearest to the parking area.Not to though,We did get some great views of him flying in from a reed bed about a hundred yards up the road.He was also giving us some great views preening him self right next to the reeds at a distance but great to see.
These shots were taken from a fare distance,lets hope we get closer views in the future.a visit to the coast next to cresswell got use to see at least 200 common scoter,8 Red-throated divers.Newbigin Showed us 5 red-throated divers and three med-gulls.
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.
