any idea chaps.

passage waders often good at this time of the year; I've had Greenshank, Green Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper, Knot, Dunlin etc in the last week, and there was a Marsh Sandpiper at Cresswell last week. Following northerly winds, seawatching from Snab Point (just south of Cresswell village) could be productive; skuas, shearwaters etc, although Church Point (Newbiggin by the Sea) is generally better for seawatching. Hopefully you'll bring some better weather with you
