Frenchman’s Bay

A trip to South Shields for the very showy Shore Larks that have been there for a while. They did not disappoint; at times they were around our feet. However, what always amazes me are how different people are, for instance, when the birds were on the path some people would walk up to the nearest photographer and ask what the birds were, other people would walk behind the photographers to try not to disturbed the birds or get in the way, however, and I find this strange, and I know they are perfectly within their rights, but why would you deliberately walk right between the birds and the photographer and not even be bothered that you have disturbed both the birds and photographer (end of rant). I took so many pictures of both the Shore Larks and some of the other birds that we saw I was going to do two Blogs but I have decided to do just one long one.

Barn Owl

 Barn Owl, Whinchat and Stonechat from the beginning of the month.

The Swallows did not like the Barn Owl being around.



However, the Swallows eventually left it alone so it could carry on hunting.

Night Heron

 A visit to Bolton-on-Swale for the Black-crowned Night Herons that have been there for a while. I only saw one when we were there and it was very distant but up to six have been seen according to the guy I spoke to in the hide.
