    Great report. My highlight has been listening to the Skylarks near Holywell Pond. Fab few days. Your Chiff is probably resident mate, bit too early for the migrants

    Tynemouth Black Redstart has showing very well over the last few days. Some reports that there are two. It has been on the sea cliffs and rocks by the gates to the pier. I saw it today at about 3pm, to within about 30 ft. Lovely, smart bird.

    I hear that NWT will now oppose the mining plans for Druridge Bay on grounds that the habitat developments proposed lack assurances and that it is not clear how they can be realistically implimented. Richard
