Another trip to Druridge this morning to assist Iain with the second day of the Druridge Bay Bioblitz. Had to take a fairly convoluted route to get there due to the number of flooded roads. The sea looked incredibly impressive as I drove up the coast. There were new arrivals chirping and calling in the bushes but the rain was so heavy that it was impossible to see anything. Underwater birdwatching tours anyone? The weather seems to be clearing now (maybe only temporarily though) and the lads at Newbiggin have turned up a few goodies – Dotterel, Wryneck etc. Early start tomorrow, and I’m sure I’ll be glad that we use a Land Rover.
