Even though it was quite warm at Druridge tonight, sunny, with a light easterly moving to s'easterly wind, Autumn is upon us, I had 5 pale-bellied brent geese flying north offshore tonight!
Even though this heralds the beginning of Autumn, they were a welcome year tick as was arctic skua, two of them loitering in the bay. The Scoter flocks sum is now approaching 300.
116 brent goose
117 arctic skua
Factually incorrect and plainly just scaremongering, you'll be telling me there was aGreat Northern Diver off Hadston next....
ReplyDeleteI agree Iain, the nights are cutting in now and I had an adult Cuckoo on the shore up here obviously on its way south...oh and there was a GN Diver off Hadston too....
ReplyDeleteLapwing on my patch, - means autumn is here!
ReplyDeleteI saw the same brents passing close in at Hauxley point. Good passage of manxies too.
