I got up early this morning and drove down to visit
Cresswell Pond, a Northumberland Wildlife Trust reserve at the south end of Druridge Bay, Northumberland. Two hours later I had notched up a respectable 37 species including a stunning "cream crown"
Marsh Harrier hunting over the reedbeds, a summer plumaged
Bar-tailed Godwit and a small flock of 14
Red-breasted Mergansers.

Other birds of note were: a winter plumaged Spotted Redshank, 2 large skeins of Pink-footed Geese which flew over, half a dozen Tree Sparrows in the hedges by the hide and two Common Snipe feeding in the reeds- lovely!
