After the drenching at Druridge while assisting with Bioblitz, and the devastation visited upon Morpeth by the torrential rain on Saturday, what would Sunday bring? Well, as the easterly winds and rain coincided with an area of high pressure over Scandinavia, the most likely outcome would be a lot of migrants…and so it proved. A day spent at Newbiggin, with an ever increasing crowd of birdwatchers, produced a very tame Dotterel, a stunning male Red-breasted Flycatcher, a handful of Wrynecks and lots and lots of Wheatears, Redstarts, Willow Warblers etc. And then the sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon on the coast, hard to believe that just a few miles away the clean-up operation in Morpeth was still ongoing.
