    Barmsron Pond 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...

    Just a thought ! Whilst I know most ( I think) of us read the Durham,South Tyneside probably Cleveland and Northumberland forums thought best to add it to Durham too,as not looking for the old debate again but we all know(and its not my original area)that Sunderland is in County Durham ! Just a...
