A hardy group of eighteen members ventured forth on Saturday 11th February for an early morning gull and wader watch, at the Angel Marshes on the Blyth estuary. With thousands of birds present there was a lot to scan giving a very respectable species count.
Walking on towards the hide several of the group managed to add kingfisher and bearded tit to their day and year lists. The group then reassembled to car share for the journey to Sotterley where the birds of the day, four hawfinches, were recorded.
In the afternoon several of the group joined leader Barry Hart at Walberswick where they managed to locate 23 twite, whilst others pursued elusive redpolls and waxwings nearer home
