No proper birding today. I woke, after a late night at chez Biggs, with a wooly head so had a lie in. The rest of the day was spent catching up. I took the pic above from Corby Crags, west of Alnwick after I had been sent on a mission to collect greenery for Jane's wreath making exploits.
Bunty's morning walk was around the Howick woods. On the well flooded pond, a Little Grebe was the only thing of note, while 50+ Redwings, 5 Mistle Thrushes and 12+ Blackbirds were feeding in yews on the way back.
The afternoon stroll was at Boulmer. The only thing that merited a raised binocular was a group of 3 Red breasted Mergansers flying north.
Must do better next week....

Stewart - that's a stunning picture and so atmospheric!!
I don't know Alnwick at all but I'll have to put it on my "to visit" list!
Thanks Stewart for adding me to your blog list.
T - This is the view towards Cheviot from the road side a few miles west of Alnwick. We do have some great scenery within a radius of no more than 10 miles. The majority of my pics on the blog are from this area.
CB - No problem...
Nice shot Stewart, but can you get rid of that white stuff please before I venture north next week for festivities !!
BR - No probs Andrew, the forecast is mild and wet for the next week....I bet you'd like the snow though really ;)
