    I've heard Green 'peckers in a few places like Wingate Quarry NR, Hawthorne Dene, Clara Vale NR, Low Barnes to name a few but the only "Local" Green 'peckers I've managed to see were once at Low Barnes and one while walking along the lines from Shotton to Haswell, but they were both a couple of...

    On my rounds on one of the streets in Seaham (I'm a Binman) I've noticed a communal nest box with about half a dozen holes in it and I seem to remember Sparrows going in and out last year. I've only been round that street once so far this year so haven't noticed any yet. Also a pair of Sparrows...

    Couple of my Waxwing shots. In the first shot one of the waxwings kept hopping around trying to feed the other. Do they often do this?

    Nice to see the Waxwings giving a good show today at Jarrow as June and Derek have said. Shame the trees they were feeding in are well shaded by the houses making it hard to get decent shots, although it doesn't stop some people getting them;). June and Derek posted the Waxwings here's a...

    Had a walk around Hardwick Park, Sedgefeild yesterday. Along with the usual Mallards, Tufties, Pochard, Gulls and Swans on the lake there were quite a few Canada Geese, 8 Goosander, one Goldeneye, and a Male Pintail resting on the far bank with a couple of other ducks. Also two large flocks of...

    Haven't been out much lately (been a lazy so and so just reading what's about Dave;)) so while the wife was shopping in Adsa yesterday I popped over to Jacksons Landing for half an hour. Very little about apart from a few Herring Gulls a couple of Pigeons and one Diver. Pretty sure it's a...

    Haven't done much birding lately but I had to pop along to see the latest special visitor. Probably years before I get another chance to get such close views of one of these so I grabbed a few shots like everyone else;).

    Slavonian Grebe at Hartlepool headland today just down from the Town Wall. At the time I thought it was a Black Necked Grebe but have since had it ID'ed as a Slavonian which is a new lifer for meo:D:t:. Did you managed to get it Ray????

    Quick wander around the Headland before shopping this afternoon. 2 Great Crested Grebes, 7 Red/Black throated Divers and a Guillemot near the Lifeboat Station. Also saw what could have been a Great Northern Diver (looked to have a larger forehead than the other Divers) but at the distance I...
