Not much new at Boulmer this morn, Treecreeper, 2+Brambling, 10 Twite, 12 Redpolls in off, a few Redwings and Blackbirds all Seaton Point.

Absolutely buzzing... Just found 2, yes TWO Crimson Speckled on Dunwich beach just before the deluge hit. Dreamland!

Radde's Warbler, Low Newton this morning, thanks to Gary Woodburn . A real skulker, at one point it called twice and popped up very briefly no more than a metre away from us! Too quick for photo so this more distant record is the best I got. #sibes #Northumberland Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club

Whenever I'm lucky enough to see a Firecrest, I feel I have to draw it...The pencil then colour added... #Northumberland #FieldNotes #BirdArt #Sketching

An hour around home this morn #vizmig had 330 Pinkfeet, 80 Skylark, 12 Siskin, 2 Grey Wag, 10 Redwing and 8 Blackbirds. A 4 Goldcrests and Blackcap in garden sycamores the only grounded migrants. #Northumberland Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club

Remember a couple of months back when PM Johnson was a corrupt liar whos own party sacked him?
Then the new candidates, Sunak, Mordaunt, Braverman werent good enough to beat Lizz Truss? This is how low the Conservatives have to stoop to find a new PM.

Alan Curry Stewart 📖✒ Paul Davidson That's what I thought too! I've seen Stewart there twice, and Bluetail 3 times 😄

Thats mental.

Now that the East Siberian Wagtail that we found in 2020 has been formally accepted, I thought it was appropriate to get our friend Phil Jones to do the honours and produce us a painting. Very pleased with the result.

Despite what any of them say, it started with Brexit.

My first Fieldfares over, a flock of 5 flying strongly west, this is an oil I painted about 5 years ago. Have a great weekend all, many thanks for any feedback on the art 🙏👍

Red Flanked Bluetail at Whitley Bay Cemetery today was always mobile, elusive and high in the canopy but still doing what it says on the tin

Muddy banks with barnacle encrusted rocks, draped in Bladder & Egg Wrack, slicked with mud hiding tasty morsels are a great place to watch curious mudlarking #Jackdaws . SWLA exhibition mallgalleries #artforsale #birds #birdart #corvids

Are you ready for a Waxwing winter?

North-West Europe looks set to enjoy an influx, with large numbers already appearing in southern Scandinavia: bit.ly/3eHvviH

Incoming! Today’s prime weather conditions for once lived up to expectations around the patch. Swathes of migrant thrushes, Goldcrests galore and topped off by a bedraggled RF Bluetail, YBW and Pallas’s Wblr. Fingers crossed for more of the same tomorrow…

A bit of a frustrating day, which seems weird to say when Surf Scoter, BTD, Slav Grebe, Little Auk, Firecrest, LEO, 5 SEO and plenty of other bits featured on the patch, but the sibe eluded us at Boulmer.

Always tomorrow...
