After a lovely afternoon visiting Alnwick and
Alnwick Gardens with the family, we dropped into Alnmouth for a quick look at the harbour and estuary area. As the time was getting on (4.00pm) there were several gull species roosting with 100+
Common Gull, 200+
Herring Gull and dozens of
Black-headed Gulls loafing about on the sands.
In addition 1
Bar-tailed Godwit, 30
Lapwing,
Oystercatcher, Redshank and a very close
Curlew were feeding. A large, female
Sparrowhawk also flew low overhead.
