Bamburgh part one

 A family and friends get together last week took my wife and I up to Bamburgh for a few days. While everyone was doing their thing, I spent most of my time on the beach and rocks photographing the birds. Unfortunately, the Bonaparte’s Gull that was off Stag Rocks didn’t show while I was up there but it was found again when I had returned home. I took so many images over the three days we were there I have divided them into two parts.

Turnstone.


Not turning stones but seaweed.

I took more images of the Turnstone in flight than I did of any other bird.











I saw this Crow coming in to land on the beach with something in its beak so I took a photo. I didn’t realise what it was until I got the image up on the computer and found out it was a Frog.

I didn’t see many of these Eider or Cuddy Ducks. 

Arctic Tern.


There were three at Stag Rocks.

Rock Pipit.


Calling Pied Wagtail.



Oystercatcher on the rocks at Seahouses.

A couple of Stonechat were in the dunes.

Kibblesworth

Here are a few images from another visit to Kibblesworth Brick Pond. Unfortunately, there weren’t many Dragonflies on this visit.

I wished I had filmed this instead of just taking a picture. I haven’t a clue what going on with these Burnet Moths but I haven’t seen this behaviour before.

I know pigeons have to drink and bathe but I have never seen them land on a pond like this before
