Northumberland birding - day 2

3 walks today along the coast at Boulmer.  Highlights today were Snow Bunting, the Black Throated Divers again, Peregrine and Merlin hunting, Red Breasted Merganser and 100+ Gannet fishing. The final walk in the evening sun led to close up views of waders on the shore. A mix of Sanderling, Knot, Turnstone, Dunlin, Ringed Plover, Bar-tailed Godwit, Redshank and Curlew.


In between this was a visit to Cresswell Pond. Brief views of the Long-billed Dowitcher, as well as Long-tailed Duck, Little Stint, Greater Scaup and Whinchat in the dunes.
An excellent day!
