Our first day out in a while began at QEII park with this gorgeous Whooper swan
Then we quickly headed up to Cresswell to see the Avocets which have now built a nest on the sand bar, the most northerly nesting in the UK as far as I know.
If anyone knows any better please feel free to educate me :-)
After the avocets I found this Gropper in the dunes near the car park.
From Cresswell we headed to Druridge with nothing much of interest.
then onto Hauxley where I found this large colony of sand martins nesting in the edges of the dunes. Hundreds of the little buggers too! Incredibly difficult to photograph so here's a few of my better rubbish images.
after Druridge we headed out on the RSPB cruise from Amble with very little of interest except a few puffins, terns and seals.
Hopefully my next outing wont be too long away this time round, I'm planning a trip to see if the spot fly's have returned to the neting site which I found last year so will hopefully have some more images to share soon.
