I have a trip to Musselborough planned tomorrow for the Wilson's Phalarope that's been lingering though the news doesn't appear good as no reports have been made today. I am taking my seven year old son Joel on his first big twitch and had planned to come back via Aberlady's long staying Lesser Yellowlegs , a decent food stop in Eyemouth for a few gull pictures and then Stag Rocks to...

The plan was quite simple for Saturday morning - head up early morning to Holy Island, tick off the red-rumped swallow in the village and then have leisurely potter to the Lough for crippling views of the male bearded tit . We'd then head for Budle to take in the snow goose before heading to Stag Rocks for coffee and a sea watch. That was the plan. The reality was slightly different....

Back at home this weekend, something which is becoming more regular. I went up north early yesterday with S.H with Stag Rocks our intended destination. We had a quick and optimistic check of Hulne Park for Hawfinch on the way up but we were soon told to leave as a hunt was taking place at the park. Before going to Stag we checked Budle Bay where the tide was out. A flock of Pink...

With four county year ticks on offer, five if you include the Holy Island Bearded Tit, concentrated in the area around Budle Bay and Stag Rocks there was only one choice of destination this morning. Nothing notable on the journey up, Common Buzzard on a haystack and several large areas of standing water including what seemed like whole fields in places suggested very heavy localised rainfall....

... I'm glad thats off my chest, it was a bit like a confessional. Back to today. We started off at Stag Rocks near Bamburgh hoping to see the Black Guillemot that has been here for a while now. I was tempted yesterday by Alan Hall telling me it was relatively close in at digi scopeable distance. Well today it wasn't. Not a sniff in the hour we were there. The sea was calm and viewing...
