Whoopers at Cragside

A "DIVER" at Paperhaugh Bridge

The best day weather wise this year, called in at Cragside 34 Whoopers on the lake and Nuthatch calling but nothing else onto Pauperhaugh Bridge for a quick look then to Weldon Bridge for a walk along the river on the S/ east side looking for Goosander and the hope of Kingfisher on the stream but nothing only a flock of Redwings flew over .
Next stop Morpeth for a walk along the river again looking for Goosander I have had them here coming to bread with the Mallard,but only one Female which flew off,we walked along past the six bridges and back again nothing other than Mallard.
