HI Al,
That's a great list of birds and as they don't seem to mind the weather so neither should we. Just wrap up warm and dry and get out there. You must be well used to doing that up there where you live.
I am learning to take photos through the scope too. Tricky isn't it? First find the bird... !
Lovely to see the terns - I am loking forward to seeing some this year. Fingers crossed.

There is something new to learn everyday...

Aye folks :)
I must admit I have a great place to go birdwatching with the river the woodland and the Rivermouth all within a 3 mile walk . Im kinda lucky .
The taking of photos through the scope was a bit of a hit or miss But it will get better with the more i use it.
Thanks for the kind words Both of you :)
Well done Al some lovely walks where you are
