11-03-07 Hexham on the Tyne

Had a run inland today just up to the Hexham area with a walk along the Tyne, the river was quite high with evidence of heavy bank erosion west of the town, a pair of Gooosanders,20+ Teal, and 20+ Mallard along the far bank was hoping for Sand Martin perhaps, although it was a nice day the West wind was very cold Two Buzzards displayed over one of the woods, Kestrel, and two GSW,heard Green Woodpecker but not seen ,a pair of Oystercatchers along the shingle bank and another Buzzard further along.
