On Sunday Ben Steel found these four
Shorelarks at Boulmer. They are probably the least twitched Shorelarks in Northumberland birding history after the Magnificent 7 that have wintered at East Chevington have provided such fantastic opportunities for birders and photographers.
So, why did I bother after seeing the Chevvy birds? Well, +tonight at Boulmer, I was alone, with no tape lures, no Brian Blessed rehearsals, no Timpani solo from the steel hides and the only 'togger there was me. The wind was blowing and the sound of Oystercatchers provided a suitably wild backdrop to the evening. Just me and the Shorelarks. Bliss....
