    I'm hoping to go for the Nightingale tomorrow, does anyone know if tere was any sign today? I suspect everyone has been watching the Bluethroat, but I was just wondering if there is any new info? It's still by the hide I assume, or has it moved?

    Wandered around Saltholme and the N tees area today. Saltholme was surprisingly quiet. Had first Greylag Goslings on back Saltholme. Many Swifts and hirundines were hawking over the grassland. 3 Yellow Wags were the highlight here. Singing Skylarks added a nice soundtrack. There were a fair few...

    Hi Andy, I saw a blue headed type Yellow Wagtail at Bidh Mid on saturday morning and believe it was Channel Wagtail rather than pure flava. Also I was rather surprised to see a Dipper on the River Wear this morning, actually on the weirs in the town centre. Stunning birds!

    Very good days birding around the county today. Started early at RSPB Saltholme and soon heard about the Green Winged Teal at Saltholme pools hide.

    Thanks for the Information RE the Shrike. Im hoping to go tomorrow, so can you just clarify- you drive down to the carpark on long newton lane itself, around halfway down.

    Perhaps if some organisations join to buy the reservoirs they might have enough although how likely this could be I'm unsure. There's a few locally. I think it would be a waste of a few sites.
