Subjected to the elements
by martin on Apr.06, 2011, under Birdwatching, Druridge Bay, Northumberland, Southeast Northumberland
Our Druridge Bay/southeast Northumberland mini-safari at the end of last week ‘enjoyed’ a range of weather conditions; after collecting Richard and Maureen from Blyth, we set off for the Coquet estuary. Howling winds and sheets of rain didn’t deter us though, and using the car as a birdwatching hide we had excellent views of Grey Herons, Cormorants, Goldeneye, Redshank and Wigeon. A real highlight of the morning was a young male Marsh Harrier, hunting the coastal reedbeds. With a range of waders and wildfowl to fill the ‘scope, and the weather improving to bright sunshine, the morning was all too soon over and I was on my way home to wash and clean the car ready for our next trip.
