Headed north mid morning after the heavy rain took a break, with Beadnell Bay being the first port of call.
The Lesser Yellowlegs, albeit distant, was readily available on the flash north of the Long Nanny burn, with Little and Arctic Tern flying over the dunes too.
Further north at the flooded fields near Hoppen Kiln the Pectoral Sandpiper was added to the day list, along with a Wood Sandpiper and four Garganey (1 drake). On the roadside a Tree Sparrow was nesting.
West Hartford was enroute home, and a flyover Yellow Wagtail was a bonus. On the flash were two Shelduck and a single Moorhen, while the reeds continue to hold many Reed Bunting. Swift were in their tens over the River Blyth.
