Had a day up in Northumberland yesterday. Here are a couple of shots of two Red-throated Divers that I spotted in the sea between Cresswell and Druridge pools.
Just in case anyone is interested, the White-tailed eagle that was taken in in Bedlington at the start of September has made a full recovery and has just been re-released back in Scotland.
My brother was out with an RSPB group in Perthshire yesterday and that individual was one of a roost of four that they located.

Prestwick Carr this afternoon a single Short-eared Owl.
Can you and other local lads keep it happy here till Sunday? A few "just across the border" folks will hopefully view this bird then.Had another quick look at the Lesser Scaup this afternoon and thought I was seeing double
Poor quality pic I know
Here to be shot down but i'm 75% sure I had a common crane gliding in to land in a field east of the A1 just north of Alnwick today as I headed for lindisfarne - between turns for Denwick and North Charlton.
First thought - grey heron, 2nd thought... looks odd for heron, 3rd thought - a bit big for heron, 4th thought - neck and upper wing pattern not quite right (a bit too brown, dark neck/face with too much black on wings).
I've seen crane before in Northumberland but not in flight, and herons by the thousand and it struck me as oddLike I say - not certain by any means but if anyone is in the area tomorrow it might be worth checking out.
Hi Paul
Was it flying with it's neck out stretched or tucked in?
East Chevington track today.
Pity I didn't have time to reset the focus mode. I'd just been trying to photograph a Y B Warbler (unsuccessfully - it went missing) in foliage and didn't have time to reset for a flight shot when I saw this crossing the track.
