Wood sand is a great spot. Blackwit one of my very favourite birds. Check out their lifespan and migration mileage HellsBells

Excitedly heard a kingfisher on today’s walk. Merlin picked it up for me but I instantly knew what I was hearing.

I've been trying for a cuckoo for a few weeks now but not heard one yet.  I do seem to have seen a lot more swallows than in recent years though. |

I was in your neighbourhood on Saturday Paul and had a Peregrine stalking Swifts over West Park. It seemed to decide they were too diffcult and wandered off to the north. |

Wow. I think Darlington, mind the entire Tees Valley area, would be the least peregrine place I could imagine.

I've had more luck on various parts of the Tees around town too. |
