Northumberland - Day 2

Today we started off at Beadnell, where we had a lovely vegan breakfast, before walking along the beach to the harbour. Along the way we saw several Jackdaws, a couple of Rock Pipits and, best of all, a juvenile (possibly male) Long-tailed Duck. We also had another 3 birds (all males?) in the harbour at Seahouses.

Driving up to Stag Rocks (Bamburgh), we spotted several Shoveler (75) on Monk's House Pool, Teal (76) and Shelduck (77) at Budle Bay and 7 Purple Sandpipers (78), Yellowhammer (79), Linnet (80) and Reed Bunting (81). 

Our final stop was Budle Bay, where we added  A single Common Gull (82) was seen driving back to Shilbottle.
