No, not a comment on the state of the hobby. Rather, it’s one of my favourite destinations. After last Saturday’s excellent pelagic (with Sooty Shearwater and Sabine’s Gull added to nearly everyone’s year lists, and a few life lists as well) I spent all day Wednesday on the SarahJFK carrying out some research for next year’s Northern Experience Northumberland Pelagics. Even in westerly winds there were good birds moving North; 6 Black Terns (although they were a long way east of Church Point when I photographed them) were a very pleasant surprise.
Tomorrow we’re back to sea, this time on Glad Tidings V, in search of whales, dolphins and seabirds. Then we’re going to follow that with a bat & moth night and BBQ at Lee Moor Farm. From some of our largest wildlife, to some of the smallest. It’s not too late to sign up for either event so give us a call. Variety is the spice of life!
