I'm assuming this is the place where you submit what you have seen in Durham ?
Had a look down Salthome this morning with young Kieran and his dad, Derek. Must have just missed you Joe.
Beautiful morning and loads about again, 8 Little Gulls,3-4 Ruff including two splendid males, 2 Red Knot , 2 Little Rings and a Wood Sandpiper . A few summer plumaged Grey Plover also about.
Found the Spoonbill asleep on Cowpen Marsh, with a few Whimbrel also there.
Next had a look round to North Gare, where we found a Temmincks Stint, a lifer for all of us. Managed a pap pic, on full zoom.

Good numbers of POMARINE SKUAS (low hundreds) were seen over the course of the week, mainly along the south coast………
