Going to try again to do a CYL for Tyne and Wear.But not going to go mental as this will be a busy year for me what with my first child due in July(i know many people are in the same boat) and work expected to be busy(self employed means dont work, dont get paid)But so far after 2 very short trips out (less than 3 hours birding in total) im up to a staggering 46 (o)<

Always amazing how many birds can be seen locally Mark. Keep it going. Jack Snipe is on my wish list. I have never seen one. Visited Titchwell last year to be told everyone had been watching a Jack Snipe all morning. I was taken round to see it and yes, it had disappeared.One or two J.Snipes have been seen regularly in the last couple of weeks on the South shields Leas.Flushed mine from "large mound" directly west of Trow quarry(this is next to a small road taking you to a isolated large pub).The snipe was flushed from long grass and seen briefly in flight.Reckon its worth a try but views might not be brill
