walk to barmston pond, watched b-h gulls diving into the water like terns, is that normal? seemed to be a feeding frenzy.
walked back along the dis-used railway line only thing of note was gold crest,on the south tyneside side![]()
I regularly take a peak but unfortunately regularly disappointed (in the main). To me it looks rich habitat but If I am right there is no management of the pond to improve or even create ta better attraction for the birds. I understand that once over it was a a real hot spot for migrants. Such a shame it does not provide more |hows barmston pond looking these days,i used to be a regular visitor there,but it's been going down the pan lately.|=)|
