17 July 10 Newton on Sea, Northumberland

Went with Louise to Northumberland. A bright day with occasional showers that completely died away as the day progressed. Wind was quite blustery.

We arrived at Newton on Sea just after 1pm after a wild goose chase round Haddington where a Quail had been reported singing at 8am. A complete waste of time and diesel !

Round at the lookout there were hundreds of Arctic Tern with young and a few Little Tern and 1 Sandwich Tern.

There were 2 Sanderling on the shoreline and a few Golden Plover flew past.

Some images from the day:

Stopped at St Abbs on the way home. Lots of Kittiwakes with young on the cliffs. All Auks appeared to be off the cliffs with only a few seen on the sea. Fulmars on the cliffs::

All in all a pretty average day. Hope Suffolk is better next week !
